The Dangote Group Plc has pledged comprehensive medical care and compensation for Mrs. Ruth Otabor, sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma “Phyna” Otabor, following her involvement in an accident with one of the company’s trucks.

In a statement released on Thursday, Dangote Group confirmed that representatives from Dangote Cement Plc, along with insurance officials, had visited both the accident site and the hospital to meet with Mrs. Otabor’s family.
