Former BBNaija star Josephina Otabor aka Phyna, has lent her voice to the cries for justice after the Benue killings. About 200 people were reportedly killed in Yelwata, Benue state, by unknown men who stormed the community between Friday, June 13, to Saturday, June 14, 2025.
The gory aftermath of the killings was publicised online by online critic, Vincent Martins Otse aka VeryDarkMan, and it drew people’s attention to the tragedy.
Days after the tragedy, President Tinubu visited the state, and videos from his visit circulated on social media. The viral clips seemed to trigger Phyna’s reaction as the BBNaija star blew hot on her official X page.
In one tweet, Phyna claimed that there were no victims in Yelwata, Benue state, because they were all burned alive. She then wondered about the people President Tinubu saw at the hospital. She accused him of only doing a photoshoot.
In her words: “There were no victims in Yelewata, they were all killed and burnt alive, who are those in the hospital that the president went to visit standing on a red rug @officialABAT why are you doing a photoshoot to make us angrier Nigeria has failed us.”
In a subsequent post, Phyna called for a new Nigeria which she wants to be a part of. According to the reality show star, the hypocrites and animals need to be left behind.
She wrote: “If there is going to be a new Nigeria I want to be there……. Too much animals and hypocrites needs to be left in this dungeon🤦🏼♀️. We want a new Nigeria 🇳🇬”
