Ruth had suffered a tragic accident just weeks earlier.
She underwent a leg amputation after being hit by a truck linked to Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Eyewitnesses said the heavy-duty truck crushed her leg before it was eventually stopped by a bystander.
The accident occurred only six days after Ruth graduated from Auchi Polytechnic. Her sudden death has left the family and fans in shock.
