The father of BBNaija season 7 winner, Josephina ‘Phyna’ Otabor, has claimed the reality star has abandoned her family after she found fame and became rich.

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 used 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.
