The management of Dangote group, owned by billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote, has broken silence on the death of former BBNaija star Phyna’s sister.
Kemi Filani reported an hour ago that the reality star’s sister, who was hit by a Dangote truck some days back, had passed away.
The SUG president of Auchi Polytechnic made the sad news known on his Instagram story. He shared a photo of her alongside a RIP and crying emojis.
Confirming the news, Phyna revealed that her sister passed away today, the 31st of August, 2025, at about 6:30 pm. She and her family urged the public to give them a private moment to mourn the departed and promised to communicate with the public about her funeral arrangements.
Speaking out, Dangote group, in a press statement, said arrangements had been made for her to be flown to India for advanced treatment. The company revealed that since the incident, their officials and insurance partners have been by her side, covering all financial and medical costs and supporting her family.
Sending condolences to the family, the management prayed that God grant her mercy and eternal rest.
A week back that Phyna had called out businessman Aliko Dangote and his business, Dangote Group, over its truck, which crashed into her sister. She claimed that the businessman and his company told the Nigerian police to remove the plate number on the truck. Threatening fire, she noted how the businessman only has money but isn’t God.
Following the incident, Dangote’s group released a press statement expressing its unwavering commitment to the well-being of Phyna’s sister. The company said it’s ensuring full support for the victim, including comprehensive medical care and appropriate compensation.
Reacting to it, Phyna pointed out the irony in how they are wishing a quick recovery for her sister, whose leg has been amputated. She questioned what speed they were taking, and she also reminded them about the bike man, whose condition was very critical.
