Her family confirmed the news on Sunday in a statement issued by Eko Solicitors & Advocates, revealing that Ruth died in the early hours of August 31, 2025, at about 6:30 a.m.
“With heavy hearts, the family announces the passing of their beloved daughter, sister, and mother on this 31st day of August, 2025, at about 06:30Hrs,” the statement read.
The family appealed for privacy during this difficult time, adding that funeral arrangements will be shared with the public later.
Ruth had been involved in a severe accident on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, where she was recently graduated. A truck, reportedly belonging to Dangote Group, ran over her leg, which later had to be amputated. Eyewitnesses said the heavy-duty vehicle was eventually stopped by a bystander.
Her sudden death, coming just weeks after the accident and days after completing her studies, has thrown her family and fans into deep mourning.
