Moses Otabor, the father of Josephine Otabor, a well-known Big Brother Naija star who goes by the stage name Phyna, recently opened up about his distressing situation.
In an interview with Vanguard published on a Saturday, he revealed that he has been unable to see his daughter ever since she clinched the show’s substantial N100 million prize last year.
According to Mr. Otabor, his daughter, Phyna, had instructed him to sell his old cars, but despite following her instructions, he has not had the chance to reunite with her.
“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,” the 66-year-old said.
The father of four also stated that he started looking for someone to give him a car on hire purchase when life became tough.
“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,” he said.
In November 2022, Phyna claimed she bought a red SUV for her father.
