Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) ambassador Michael Nwabufo has debunked rumours surrounding Phyna’s sister’s case about an alleged one billion naira demand from Dangote.
Nwabufo, popularly known as Mike Premium, revealed this on Wednesday via his Insta story, alongside screenshots of his conversation with Phyna.
“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.
Mark my words: No one born of a woman can stop it. Not in this country. Not anywhere,” he said.
The demand statement was titled, ‘Demand for compensation and medical intervention for victims of the Dangote cement truck accident’.
It encapsulated six items covering medical expenses and proper care, advanced prosthetics, and rehabilitation therapy.
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.
“You people are trying to push a young woman into depression, after everything she went through fighting to save her own blood sister, a sister whose school fees she’s been paying for years!” he noted.
