Dangote speaks as Phyna’s sister loses leg in truck accident

The family stated that they are grieving and requested privacy to mourn Ruth, adding: “The funeral arrangement will be communicated to the public in due course.”

Ruth had suffered a tragic accident just weeks earlier.

She underwent a leg amputation after being hit by a truck belonging to Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, on August 13, 2025.

Eyewitnesses said the heavy-duty truck crushed her leg before a bystander eventually stopped it.

The accident occurred only six days after Ruth graduated from Auchi Polytechnic.
