VDM, joined by students of Auchi Polytechnic, demanded justice for Ruth Otabor, the younger sister of BBNaija winner Phyna, who recently had her leg amputated after being crushed by a Dangote truck shortly after her graduation. Addressing the crowd, he insisted that the company must not only pay Ruth’s medical bills but also compensate other victims of similar incidents.
