Big Brother Naija season 7 winner Phyna has come under fire from her father, Mr. Felix Otabor, for vanishing with N100 million.
When Phyna took home the grand prize in the 2022 BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition, her parents breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as though God had at last heard their prayers.
They arrived at the location of the BBNaija grand finale, beaming with joy as they prepared to celebrate with their daughter. While hoping for better days, they smiled for the camera and enjoyed themselves with Phyna. But regrettably, it never did.
According to the Vanguard reports, the very day Phyna was announced winner of BBNaija season 7 was the last time her parents said they set their eyes on her.
She disappeared into thin air as soon as the prize money was handed over to her, and she never returned to her parents to butter their bread
Worse still, is the fact that Phyna neither calls nor answers her parents’ calls since she left the BBNaija house. Yet, she could be seen all over social media, displaying affluence, posh and class.
Speaking with the Vanguard newspaper, he said, “I haven’t seen Phyna, my daughter since she won BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition last year. She hasn’t returned home since then. I don’t know why? I am a professional hearse driver, and when she won the reality TV show, she asked me to do away with all my old cars, promising to change my life. But since then, I haven’t seen her. And I don’t have a car again. Once in a while, the Vice-Chairman of our association will allow me to drive his own car.”

“I sold all my four cars because at the time , my daughter won the show. I thought that God had finally answered our prayers. I called her on the telephone, and she said God has blessed us. She asked me to do away with all my old cars, or she would give them out to Aboki, any day she returned. So, instead of allowing her to dash out my cars to scavengers, I decided to sell them as scraps and use the proceeds to renovate my house. And that was the beginning of my suffering.”
” I stopped doing my business because I had no car again. And my neighbours thought I was either stingy or pretending as if my daughter just won a N100 million grand prize. I was the Vice-Chairman of our association, but when I couldn’t show up at our station for some time, they replaced me with another person.”
“From that moment, things started getting tough for me.I am even looking for somebody that will give me a car on hire purchase. I need help, it has come to that point/. I don’t want to die in silence.”
