The accident occurred only six days after Ruth graduated from Auchi Polytechnic. Her sudden death has left the family and fans in mourning.
Actress Kate Henshaw was quick to call for justice, urging the authorities to take action and hold those responsible accountable.
She expressed frustration and disappointment with the handling of the situation, questioning the priorities of the parties involved and emphasising the need for justice to be served.
“This truck in police custody in Auchi has hit a young girl who just graduated 6 days ago.The driver didn’t stop. He was chased down by an eyewitness lecturer who went after him. The license plate has been removed.
Police are refusing the family and students access.
“One leg amputated already & the other one may soon be amputated as well. She is lying critical in hospital. She is the junior sister to @unusualphyna. Whoever owns the truck should own up. Calling on @PoliceNG @BenHundeyin to make sure justice is served,” Henshaw wrote.nbsp;
