The Dangote Group has promised full medical care and compensation for Ruth Otabor, sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Josephina “Phyna” Otabor, after she was seriously injured in an accident involving one of the company’s trucks.
Phyna, in an emotional post on Instagram on Wednesday evening, said the incident occurred near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State and left her sister with one leg amputated, the other at risk, and with injuries to her head and hand.
“Dear @aliko_dangotegcon @dangotegroup, from all that has happened you decided to rather tell the Nigerian police to remove the plate number on the truck that crushed my sister,” she wrote.
“Also one of your managers is going to the station tomorrow, what happened to seeing my sister first? If that truck and your driver should leave that station! Na money you get you no be God. But my God is bigger. Enough is enough, una don too show people but you see this? Ahhhh.”
Responding in a statement on Thursday, Dangote Group said senior officials from Dangote Cement Plc, together with their insurance team, “promptly visited the scene, engaged with law enforcement authorities, and visited the victim and her family at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo State.”
The company said the move “reflects our unwavering commitment to the well-being of those affected” and assured that Mrs Otabor will receive “full support” including “comprehensive medical care and appropriate compensation, in line with Dangote Group’s welfare policy.”
“Our thoughts remain with Mrs. Ruth Otabor and her loved ones, and we wish her a full and speedy recovery,” the statement added.
A photo released with the statement showed Dangote Group representatives meeting with Mrs Otabor’s husband at the medical facility.
