Phyna Slams President Tinubu Over Benue Visit Amid Massacre Outcry

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Controversial reality star Josephine Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has criticized President Bola Tinubu following his visit to the Yelwata community in Benue State.


‎Recall that The Nigerian Voice recently reported that around 200 people were killed in an attack on Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.


‎Following the massacre, many well-meaning Nigerians have criticized the government for failing to address the incessant killings, with several celebrities joining the public outcry.


‎Taking to her X handle, the winner of Big Brother Naija season 7 argued that there were no victims in Yelwata, stating that they were all killed and burnt alive.


‎She questioned who President Tinubu went to visit in the hospital and further criticized him for standing on a red rug.


‎Phyna wrote:
‎“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?


‎“Why are you doing a photoshop to make us angrier? Nigeria has failed us.”
