Former Big Brother Naija star Tacha has spoken out about the recent accident involving a Dangote truck and Phyna’s sister, Ruth, who tragically lost one of her legs.
In a post on X, Tacha demanded that the Dangote Group takes responsibility for the recklessness of their drivers and provides substantial compensation to Ruth and her family.
Tacha specifically called for a N10 billion compensation, acknowledging that while it won’t restore Ruth’s lost limb, nor the injured bike man, it’s a step towards accountability.
“It’s high time the Dangote group starts paying heavily for the recklessness of their drivers. They ought to pay $10 million in compensation to Ruth even though it won’t bring back her leg”, she said.
This incident has sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians advocating for improved road safety measures and stricter regulations to prevent such accidents.
The accident occurred on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, in Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria.
Ruth, a recent graduate of Auchi Polytechnic, was hit by a Dangote truck while leaving campus around 11 am.
