Phyna, who lost her sister after she was reportedly hit by a truck linked to Dangote Group, recalled the struggles her family faced during the challenging period.
She alleged that despite repeated pleas to have her sister flown abroad for medical care, her family was told she needed a “certificate” before she could travel.
"Anthony Joshua was flown out immediately, but Dangote kept my sister for 21 days saying she needed a certificate to fly," she wrote in part.
Phyna's comments come following viral reports surrounding Anthony Joshua’s road accident along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, which claimed two lives.

“So Anthony Joshua was flown out immediately” Na ur plane dem use fly am?"
tboysquare said:
"lol, sometimes it makes sense. A global boxer with British and American passports and lots of money was flown out in a private jet, and you're complaining about your sis. Life isn't fair to anyone but it's like comparing Donald Trump to the likes of Tinubu. I mean, come on!"
AimThaMachine_ commented:
"Your sister was in a critical state and you have the opportunity to discuss with Dangote associates and your first priority was asking for 1 Billion naira? Sometimes, you have to hold a mirror to your own face and see who's looking at you."
anasuachara commented:
"This is exactly why people feel hopeless. The system rewards the rich and powerful while ordinary families struggle for basic decency. It is maddening and heartbreaking, and it makes you wonder how anything will ever change."
WomenRightsOrg said:
"The negligence that happened in your sister's case is very hurtful. But you have to move on because nothing will ever bring her back or remedy the sad event."
Why Phyna dragged Isreal DMW
Legit.ng also reported that Phyna called out Davido’s aide, Isreal DMW, in a viral social media post.
In the recording, the former housemate accused Isreal of being a "mumu" due to the way he has been treating his ex-wife.
She alleged that Isreal has been targeting Shelia, his ex-wife, in an attempt to bring her down. According to Phyna, Davido’s logistics manager allegedly contacts anyone Shelia works with to discredit her.
