BBNaija winner Phyna (Ijeoma Josephina Otabor) has raised fresh claims about her safety at a Gwarinpa hotel.
She says the hotel wants her locked up until Monday over a disputed damage bill. Her posts on Saturday night follow a fracas tied to an earlier ₦200,000 theft dispute.
In Instagram Stories, she names Dalchifit Hotel and says she asked for CCTV. She alleges the footage would test the scale of the damage claimed, and that staff refused to show it to police. The claims come days after a hotel fight over ₦200k dispute that drew officers to the scene in Abuja.
What Phyna alleges at the hotel
She says touts were allowed through the gate and reception to her floor. She claims the hotel told them her room number. According to her, the men tried to break the door before the clash.
Police steps and next moves
Phyna says she is being taken to Gwarinpa police station and fears a weekend lock-up. She adds that she only asked for CCTV so police could check what broke and how. We could not reach the hotel for comment at the time of publishing.
She further claims the amount billed for damages is inflated. She says the CCTV would show what was truly hit during the clash. She adds that the footage has not been provided despite police demand.
Some colleagues have urged calm while police review the case. BBNaija alum Chizzy Francis has asked fans to be kind while facts are checked in our report on his defence of Phyna. For now, her statements remain allegations pending official responses.
Due process will guide any detention or release, based on available complaints. If police receive clear evidence and statements, the case may move to mediation or court. Until then, the parties’ claims are unverified and subject to ongoing checks.
