Phyna, the Nigerian reality TV star, has disclosed that she is currently being detained over an incident that took place at Dalchifit Hotel in Gwarinpa, Abuja.
Phyna shared on her Instagram story that she was asked to remain in custody after the hotel accused her of damaging property valued at ₦3.5 million.
The reality star claimed the clash began after some individuals she knew entered the hotel premises and attacked her, leading to chaos and destruction within the facility.
According to Phyna, those involved in the attack were allowed into the hotel through the main gate and reception area, and they gained access to her room before the situation turned violent.
She maintained that she had requested CCTV footage to confirm what truly happened, but said the hotel and police had not responded to her demand.
The former Big Brother Naija winner stated that she was being held because she refused to pay for the alleged damages.
She also expressed disappointment over the hotel’s handling of the matter, accusing the management of negligence and failure to ensure her safety.
She wrote: “Dalchifit hotel in Gwarinpa allowed touts to come in the hotel to fight me and now they are about to lock me up till Monday cuz I refused to pay a damage of 3.5m, please I’m in prison rn.
“Dalchifit hotel… Bcuz I’m Phyna I’m being forced by a hotel that could not secure me in their premises.
“A hotel that allowed touts through their main gate, through reception up till 2nd floor to bang break down the door, same hotel that told the touts my room number. I’ve never seen that type of thing. Omo this 2025 for just take me leave my sister.
“@dalchifitsuiteshotel is locking me up till Monday bcuz I requested for the CCTV footage to even show that the amount of what was damaged was really damaged. Till now they’ve refused to show the CCTV footage to the police and Dalchi after putting me at risk is about to lock me up. Gwarinpa police station.”



Reality TV star Phyna has revealed new details about the altercation that occurred at a hotel in Abuja.
Recall that the former Big Brother Naija housemate explained that it was triggered by a case of alleged theft involving someone she once considered a friend.
In a series of Instagram story posts, the Big Brother Naija winner claimed that jealousy and betrayal from old friends have made 2025 a difficult year for her.
She advised celebrities to distance themselves from old friends once they gain fame, noting that envy can lead to serious problems.
Phyna alleged that the lady involved in the fight had repeatedly stolen from her and that the confrontation on the day of the incident started after she caught her stealing again.
According to her, the woman later brought touts to the hotel, leading to the violent clash that was captured in viral videos.
She further explained that the video circulating online only showed the moment after the fight, when she was being dragged by the touts the other lady brought.
Phyna said the woman is currently in the hospital and might face charges once she recovers.
In her words, Phyna maintained that she acted in self-defence and was not the aggressor as some online posts suggested.
She wrote: “This life as a person once you blow make sure u cut off your old friends
The envy and jealousy choke. Omo Only this 2025 alone for me has been really bad and terrible.
“Make person just dey thief me dey thief me bcuz say I know u, u dey thief me continuously if them catch u, u go dey charge say I dey tag u thief?

Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, the Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, who is popularly known as Phyna, has broken her silence following the wave of criticism she received for partying shortly after her sister’s burial.
Phyna, who lost her younger sister Ruth Otabor in an accident involving a Dangote truck in August and laid her to rest in September, recently came under fire on social media after a video surfaced of her clubbing alongside Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
The viral clip triggered backlash from some users who accused the reality TV star of being insensitive and moving on too quickly so soon after her loss.
While Regina Daniels had earlier defended her, urging the public to stop judging others for how they grieve, Phyna had not commented on the matter until now.
Taking to her X account, the outspoken media personality shared an emotional message addressing the controversy and emphasizing that mourning is a deeply personal experience.
“Grief has no manual, no fixed face, and no timetable. The fact that I choose to keep living, smiling, or sharing moments does not erase the pain I carry.
“Respect the process, even if you do not understand it. If you cannot extend compassion, then at least extend silence,” she said.

Nigerian activist and social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, has condemned individuals and institutions he believes failed Phyna’s sister, Ruth Otabor, who died weeks after an accident involving a Dangote truck.
Reacting to the tragedy, Verydarkman faulted President Bola Tinubu, the Dangote Group, and Nigerians with social media influence, accusing them of failing to rally support when Ruth was still alive and in desperate need of advanced medical care.
In a strongly worded video, he said:
“Phyna’s sister has finally kpai, a lot of people are lending their voices to the RIP but when we needed those voices to pressure Dangote to do the right thing, 19 days was what she spent at the hospital but many refused to post because it won’t give them engagement. You bunch are hypocrites, may God forgive your souls. Nigeria has failed us. President Bola Tinubu, you have failed us all. And to Dangote Group, are you happy now? You had the time to take that girl abroad to treat her.”
His remarks came hours after the Dangote Group issued a condolence statement, expressing sadness over Ruth’s death and insisting that the company and its insurance partners had been covering all medical and financial costs since the accident.
The conglomerate further noted that arrangements had already been made to fly Ruth to India for advanced treatment, pending her doctors’ medical clearance. Unfortunately, she passed away before the process could be finalised.
