Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw and former Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, are demanding justice after a truck allegedly ran over Phyna’s younger sister in Auchi, Edo State, leaving her critically injured just six days after her graduation.
The driver reportedly fled the scene but was later apprehended by a lecturer who witnessed the accident and pursued him.
Reacting to the incident on Instagram, Phyna expressed her outrage, writing: “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 took to social media to voice her frustration, highlighting the mishandling of the situation by the authorities. She revealed that the truck’s license plate had been removed and that the police were denying access to the family and concerned students, despite having the vehicle in custody.
“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.
The victim is reported to be in critical condition, with one leg already amputated and concerns that the other may also need amputation. Both Henshaw and Phyna are calling on authorities to act swiftly and hold those responsible accountable.
