Controversial reality star Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, is marking the one-year remembrance of her late sister, Ruth Otabor, with a heartfelt tribute.

In an emotional post shared on her Instagram page, she expressed her grief over the loss and her frustration over the lack of justice for her sister.

Phyna recalled how her sister was killed in a truck accident involving a vehicle belonging to the Dangote Group, and she lamented that the underage driver responsible still walks freely.

She described the pain of going one year without seeing, hearing, or laughing with her sister, and questioned whether time truly heals or merely teaches one to live with the pain.

She wrote:
“31-08-2025… Dangote Group killed my sister and never looked back; the underage truck driver that killed her walks freely today. One year today… Her case was swept under the carpet.”

“It’s been exactly one year since I lost you, my sister, and honestly, I still don’t know how to put into words what your absence has done to me. One whole year without seeing you, hearing your voice, laughing with you, or simply knowing that you were somewhere in this world.”

“People say time heals, but sometimes I wonder if time really heals or if we just learn how to live with the pain. Because even after 365 days, there are moments when it still feels like yesterday. Moments when I remember you and my heart breaks all over again. There are days I wish I could just have one more conversation with you, one more hug, one more laugh, one more opportunity to tell you how much you meant to me.”

“I miss you in ways I cannot explain. I miss the memories we shared, the little things that only sisters could understand, and the comfort of knowing you were here. Life has continued, but a part of me feels like it stopped the day you left.”

“I wish you could see me now. I wish you could see everything happening in my life and how much I wish you were here to experience it with me. I wonder what you would say, what advice you would give me, and how proud you would be.”

“Your absence has taught me that life is truly fragile and that we should never take the people we love for granted. I would give anything for just a little more time with you.”

“One year has passed, but your memory remains alive in my heart. I will carry you with me for the rest of my life, in every achievement, every tear, every smile, and every moment I wish you were here.”

“Sleep peacefully, my beautiful sister. You are deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten. Until we meet again… I love you always. I’m sorry I could not get you justice.”

The Nigerian Voice recalls that Ruth Otabor was hit by one of Dangote’s trucks on August 13, 2025, in Auchi, Edo State, and later died on August 31.

Phyna had accused the company of attempting to cover up the incident, but Dangote Group pledged support for Ruth’s medical care and compensation.

Her death was announced by the president of Auchi Polytechnic, and she was eventually buried in December 2025.
