“Pray for Phyna”: BBNaija Star Hospitalised Amid Ongoing Feud with VeryDarkMan Over Sister’s Accident
BBNaija winner Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has reportedly been hospitalised, sparking widespread concern across social media.
A photo showing the reality TV star lying on a hospital bed surfaced online over the weekend, shared by Instagram blog @lifeafterbbnaija, with a heartfelt plea:
“Please pray for Phyna. She is not strong. She is human! The person fighting for her sister Ruth’s survival in this cruel world is also hospitalised… It’s not easy at all.”
This development follows a heated online clash between Phyna and controversial online activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), stemming from a tragic road accident involving Phyna’s younger sister, Ruth, and a Dangote truck on August 13, 2025.
Phyna has been vocal in demanding accountability and justice for her sister, who remains hospitalized after the incident. She has publicly accused the Dangote Group of negligence and was alleged by VDM to have demanded ₦1 billion in compensation.
In response, Phyna slammed VDM, labeling him a “manipulator and liar,” and insisted that her focus remains on her sister’s recovery—not money.
VDM, on the other hand, accused Phyna of prioritizing compensation while neglecting the plight of the motorcyclist also injured in the crash, sparking widespread debate online.
News of Phyna’s health condition has left many fans deeply worried, with thousands taking to social media to express concern and offer prayers.
Some reactions compiled include:
- @antykemzi_thrift_stores: “God please perfect her healing speedily in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
- @tracyjustin76chuk_sd: “Jesusssss abeg oooo… Two sisters in the hospital. This is not the time to drag her at all.”
As the situation unfolds, many are calling for empathy and compassion, urging the public to allow Phyna space to recover—both physically and emotionally.
