According to Phyna, the heartbreaking incident occurred when a Dangote truck allegedly knocked down her sister, leaving her in critical condition. The BBNaija winner took to social media to express her pain and frustration, accusing the company of negligence and demanding justice for her family.
In her words, Phyna said:
“Dangote company, one of your trucks hit my younger sister. Now my family is in tears, and we need justice. This can’t just go away like that.”
Family in Distress
The reality star revealed that her sister is currently battling for her life, while her family struggles emotionally and financially with the aftermath of the accident. She lamented the lack of accountability by large corporations when ordinary Nigerians are victims of such tragic incidents.
Calls for Accountability
Phyna’s bold statement quickly stirred reactions on social media, with many Nigerians supporting her call for justice. Fans and human rights activists have also urged authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure that the victims receive proper compensation and medical care.
Her call-out also sparked broader conversations about road safety, corporate responsibility, and the plight of accident victims in Nigeria, especially when powerful companies are involved.
Public Reactions
Supporters of the BBNaija star flooded her timeline with sympathy messages and solidarity posts, while others called on Dangote Group to respond to the allegation and take responsibility. Some users expressed worry over the rising cases of accidents involving heavy-duty trucks across the country, urging government agencies to enforce stricter safety regulations.
As of now, Dangote Group has not released any official statement regarding the incident. Nigerians, however, continue to mount pressure on the company to ensure that Phyna’s sister receives justice and adequate support.
This tragic event has once again highlighted the need for accountability and improved road safety measures in Nigeria.
