Following Ruth’s tragic death after being struck by a Dangote vehicle, Mr. Daniel Adebo, Josephina Otabor’s sister’s partner, has finally spoken out.
Phyna had previously stated that the deceased Ruth had a partner, but they were not married despite having a child. Many questioned why Ruth’s partner had kept quiet the entire time until she later revealed that Ruth was a breastfeeding mother with an 8-month-old child.
An online user who claimed to have interviewed Daniel posted his comments on social media in a video that went viral. Daniel claimed that even though he was the one supporting his bedridden girlfriend and the kids, he was excluded from choices involving her.
Adebo clarified that before he could visit Ruth in Lagos, where she is presently receiving care, he had to have Phyna’s consent. Adebo defended his assertions by stating that he has been entirely in charge of Ruth’s maintenance, including covering her tuition and school fees.
Mr Daniel said:
“The reason I didn’t respond when Phyna called me irresponsible is because of my woman. I don’t want her to wake up and see me involved in any drama. All I am after is her recuperation. I want to come to Lagos to be by her side, but they said I must take permission from Phyna. I have all the chats and messages I have been sending to her family. I went back to Auchi when she was taken to Lagos.”
“I have been the one paying her tuition for three years. It wasn’t until two months ago, when she was preparing for graduation, that Phyna sent her a gown and a wig. I have been the one taking care of her and even the son she had before I met her, and we also have a child together.”
“If I am lying, Ruth’s mother is my witness, unless they have influenced her to say otherwise. I challenge Phyna to post screenshots of any money she has sent Ruth in the last three years. If she has, I will bow my head in shame.”
