In an emotional message shared on Instagram, Phyna portrayed Ruth as far more than a sibling-she was a trusted confidante, a sanctuary, a guardian, and a steadfast pillar through life’s challenges.
“Today, I want to open my heart and honor someone whose influence on my life is beyond what words can express: my dear sister, Ruth,” Phyna expressed.
“Ruth wasn’t just family; she was my refuge, my shield, and the calm in every storm. Her laughter could ease the toughest days, and her compassion was genuine, flowing from the very essence of who she was.”
Phyna reminisced about the treasured moments they shared-times filled with comfort, laughter, and unspoken understanding. She recalled how Ruth’s unwavering faith in her gave strength during moments of self-doubt. “Her absence has left an irreplaceable void, yet the love she gave remains an everlasting mark on my soul,” she added.
Alongside honoring Ruth’s memory, Phyna celebrated the milestone of Ruth’s child turning six. “Happy Birthday to this shining light! You embody your mother’s spirit, and witnessing your growth is a true gift. May your journey be blessed with happiness, wisdom, laughter, protection, and boundless possibilities,” she wrote.
Phyna wrapped up her tribute by expressing gratitude to her supporters. “Four years filled with love, fame, and family. From day one, this journey has been a tapestry of triumphs, lessons, memories, growth, and grace. To my fans-my true family-you have stood by me through every high and low, every celebration and challenge. Your support has been more than encouragement; it has been the foundation of something extraordinary.”
According to LEADERSHIP, Ruth’s untimely death followed a tragic accident involving a Dangote Group truck. Phyna had previously accused the company of attempting to conceal the incident. Nevertheless, the Dangote Group later committed to providing medical assistance and compensation before Ruth’s passing.
