Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has called for justice after the younger sister of reality TV star Phyna was critically injured in a road accident allegedly involving a truck belonging to the Dangote Group in Auchi, Edo State.
The victim, who had graduated just six days earlier, reportedly lost one leg to amputation and is at risk of losing the other.
According to Henshaw, the truck driver fled the scene but was chased down and caught by a lecturer who witnessed the incident. She also alleged that the truck’s license plate had been removed and confirmed that the vehicle is currently in police custody.
In her appeal to the authorities on X, Kate Henshaw wrote:
“This @DangoteGroup truck in police custody in Auchi has hit a young girl who just graduated 6 days ago. The driver didn’t stop. He was chased down by an eyewitness lecturer. The license plate has been removed. Police are refusing the family and students access. One leg amputated already & the other may soon be amputated. She is the junior sister to @unusualphyna. Whoever owns the truck should own up. Calling on @PoliceNG @BenHundeyin to make sure justice is served.”
Former BBNaija winner Phyna had earlier taken to social media to call out billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote, accusing his company of trying to shield those responsible for the accident.
She shared her frustration over what she described as an attempt to deny her sister justice. She wrote on Instagram:
“From all that has happened you decided to rather tell the Nigerian police to remove the plate number on the truck that crushed my sister… What happened to seeing my sister first? If that truck and your driver should leave that station!!! I will be right back, I’m attending to my sister first. Na money you get, you no be God. But my God is bigger.
Enough is enough”.”
Social media activist VeryDarkMan has also joined the call, posting a video of the victim in critical condition and urging authorities to act swiftly.
