Ruth had been involved in a tragic accident just weeks prior.
She underwent a leg amputation after being hit by a truck traced to Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
It was gathered that the truck crushed her leg before it was stopped by a bystander.
The accident reportedly occurred six days after Ruth graduated from Auchi Polytechnic.
