Nollywood actress and winner of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season 7, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has berated Dangote Group for being insensitive and irresponsible in its handling of her sister’s burial.
She called out the company in a series of emotional posts she shared on her Instagram page recently.
In the trending posts, the reality star expressed outrage over the organisation’s refusal to take full responsibility during her sister’s burial.
Phyna wrote, “On Sept 13th, the day of burial, Dangote groups did not pick up all calls made to them from us, as we were told the bills were not paid, but they claim it was, the mortuary was also covered by the family.”
She further alleged that Dangote Group covered only her sister’s bills at Lagoon Hospital, adding that her family paid other bills from Auchi to Irrua without reimbursement.
“The bills from Auchi down to Irrua were covered by the family; no refund has been made.
“In the time of all the troubles, @dangotegroup said to the public that they’ve paid all hospital bills. The only bill Dangote covered was Lagoon Hospital,” she added.

The reality TV star went on to share a letter sent to her father by Dangote Group, asking him to acknowledge receipt of funds sent for her sister’s burial.
She went on to slam the company for drafting the letter for her dad instead asking him to send one.
Phyna said, “This letter that was sent to my dad this evening is really paining me, like @dangotegroup you killed my sister, do massive PR, una give the girl papa money for burial, una con still by una self write acknowledgement letter impersonating my father and you sent to him to sign, so that una plan of after burial nothing else go stand because by then the man go don sign this letter.
“@dangotegroup, if you needed an acknowledgement letter or receipt for the funds you sent for the burial, you would have kindly asked for the acknowledgement letter from the family, and then we would have provided it. Why typing as my dad? And sending it to him to sign.
“This should never happen again. If you need something, you ask, as you have always done, because since you can type the letter for us, that means a lot of papers you were asking for while the girl was alive, you would have been able to type it then. Right now, it seems everything was well calculated”.
