Actress Kate Henshaw and BBNaija Season 7 winner Phyna are demanding justice after a truck allegedly struck Phyna’s younger sister, leaving her in critical condition just six days after graduating in Auchi, Edo State.
According to reports, the truck driver failed to stop after the accident but was eventually caught by a lecturer who witnessed the incident and pursued him.
Breaking the news on Instagram, Phyna wrote: “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.”
Kate Henshaw also voiced her anger online, alleging that the truck’s license plate had been removed and that the police—despite having the vehicle in custody—were denying the victim’s family and concerned students access.
The victim has sustained life-threatening injuries, with one leg already amputated and the other at risk.
Henshaw is calling for urgent action from the authorities to hold those responsible accountable, expressing deep frustration over the handling of the case.
She posted: “This 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 who went after him. The license plate has been removed.
Police are refusing the family n students access.
”One leg amputated already & the other one may soon be amputated as well. She is lying critical in hospital. She is the junior sister to @unusualphyna. Whoever owns the truck should own up. Calling on @PoliceNG @BenHundeyin to make sure justice is served,” Henshaw wrote.
