Meanwhile GISTLOVER reported that A voice note purportedly from a classmate of Ruth Otabor, the younger sister of Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has recently emerged online following Ruth’s tragic death.
Ruth lost her life just days after a road accident in Auchi, Edo State, which involved a Dangote truck. The circumstances surrounding her treatment sparked public discussions in the aftermath of the incident.
In the audio, the classmate shared claims about how Phyna allegedly treated her sister while she was alive. The individual stated that Phyna appeared indifferent when informed about the accident, reportedly saying she was filming and could not be present at the time.
The recording also highlighted Ruth’s struggles, noting that she faced challenges during her time in school, and many doubted she would return to complete her HND. It was further mentioned that Ruth came to the polytechnic as a single mother and had shown remarkable resilience throughout her life.
The classmate described the reality star as a “clout chaser,” citing her alleged behavior toward Ruth.
The audio has sparked strong reactions from fans. Many criticized the classmate for not speaking up while Ruth was alive, urging them to focus on their own family instead of commenting on Phyna, who had previously spoken about her accomplishments publicly.
Some fans speculated that activist Verydarkman might have influenced the classmate’s statements, particularly given the fallout between Phyna and Verydarkman following Ruth’s hospitalization.
