In a moving display of solidarity and concern, veteran Nollywood actressKate Henshaw has lent her voice to a developing tragedy involving Phyna’s sister, who lost a leg in a devastating accident involving a Dangote Group truck only six days after completing her graduation. The incident adds to mounting scrutiny of Dangote trucks linked to several deadly road crashes.
“Money you get, you won’t be God,”Phyna wrote on her Instagram, decrying what she described as efforts by the trucking giant to tamper with the investigation—including allegedly instructing police to remove the truck’s license plate and dispatching a manager to the station rather than checking on her hospitalized sister.
Kate Henshaw’s public outcry amplifies societal demands for accountability. As a respected voice in Nollywood and beyond, her call for justice resonates amid growing frustration over repeated Dangote-related accidents—from brake failures in Epe to infernos near Abuja’s Nyanya Bridge.
The Story So Far: Phyna’s Accident and Company Silence
What happened to Phyna’s sister? The Big Brother Naija “Level Up” winner revealed that only six days post-graduation, her sister was severely injured when struck by a Dangote truck. Phyna accused the company of prioritizing damage control over human welfare, and warned it would face consequences if the driver and truck were released improperly.
To date, neither the Dangote Group nor the Nigerian police have issued official statements regarding these claims. The lack of response has intensified public outcry for transparency and justice.
Kate Henshaw’s Stand: Why It Matters
Kate Henshaw is no stranger to using her platform for social advocacy. She has previously spoken out on issues from the erosion of human life’s value to online harassment and mental health struggles.
Now, her voice strengthens calls for:
- A thorough and impartial investigation into the truck accident.
- Holding Dangote—or any at-fault party—legally and morally accountable.
- Ensuring compassion and support for Phyna’s sister and her family in this trying time.
Kate’s intervention amplifies an emerging demand across social media and news platforms: this tragedy should not be buried under corporate influence.
Wider Context: Dangote Trucks and Unsafe Roads
This accident is not isolated. Nigeria has witnessed several fatal Dangote truck crashes, including:
- A brake failure tragedy in Epe, claiming lives near Lagos.
- A fiery crash near Nyanya Bridge, Abuja, which killed six and burned 14 vehicles.
- Another collision on the Kugbo–Nyanya expressway, resulting in injuries due to brake failure.
These recurring accidents, often tied to mechanical failure or poor regulation enforcement, raise pressing questions about road safety standards, routine vehicle maintenance, and the enforcement of heavy-duty truck movement regulations.
Looking Ahead
This unfolding saga should serve as a wake-up call to stakeholders:
- Dangote Group must demonstrate responsibility—by assisting victims' families, cooperating fully with investigations, and ensuring corporate social responsibility isn’t just a phrase.
- Government agencies, including traffic enforcement bodies like the FRSC and police, must enforce regulations and resist interference from powerful corporations.
- Nigerians and civil society must remain vigilant and ensure that incidents of undue influence and injustice are challenged.
In championing Phyna's sister, Kate Henshaw underscores the power of empathy and advocacy in holding institutions to account. The incident is a stark reminder—no amount of influence should trump justice, and every life deserves protection and dignity.
