Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) ambassador Michael Nwabufo a.k.a Premium Mike said it was not true reality TV star Phyna Otabor demanded N1b from the Dangote Group, after one of their trucks crushed Ruth Otabor, Phyna’s sister.
Ruth Otabo died from her injury after one week of waiting for specialist Medicare outside the country, many social media users dragged Phyna for allegedly focused on getting N1b from Dangote rather than prioritise her sister’s recovery.
But writing on his Instagram Wednesday Mike Premium, revealed this Phyna did not even demand for N1b as being circulated. Premium Mike added that he was with Phyna when she had the meeting with the Dangote Group staff.
“On no occasion did we talk about ₦1 billion as a demand! False narrative. I was the one handling this case underground since the news broke out, without social media. This was my direct appeal to Phyna and the legal counsel I provided to support her in seeking justice for her sister because she really didn’t know how to go about it.
“The first and most urgent demand was that her sister be flown abroad for emergency medical treatment, because it was clear from the beginning that her condition required advanced care that wasn’t available locally. But instead of receiving compassion and immediate action, she was met with delays, excuses and now… tragedy,” he wrote.
He further stressed that the death of Phyna’s sister, Ruth, was due to negligence, and ‘not natural’.
“Let it be known: This was not a natural death. Her life was forcefully taken not by fate, but by human negligence and disregard. This case? Phyna will get justice.”
He further threatened to sue bloggers and online platforms who reported the information if they don’t provide clear evidence of such a claim.
“To all blogs and online platforms pushing lies: any blog or page posting that Phyna demanded ₦1 billion if you don’t present credible evidence, I will personally make sure you spend some of your clickbait earnings in court.”
Phyna...bereaved.
