Big Brother Naija winner Josephine Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has tendered an apology to the general public over her statement on abortion.
Phyna had been under fire for recently stating that “There’s no woman that can say she hasn’t done abortion once or twice”.
Her statement sit well with many Nigerians who blasted her on social media including her fellow reality star Princess.
However, retracting her words in a statement released on her Instagram page on Friday, the reality star noted that she was misunderstood by the public.
“Good day to all and sundry, I am Josephina Otabor a.k.a Phyna and I write this statement to address the issues concerning my interview about a very sensitive topic and I inaccurately suggested “all” women have engaged in it.
“Firstly, I will like to address the fact that in as much as I was misunderstood, I didn’t mean to project it on every female gender. I will never encourage abortion.

“I admit that I was being too expressive in the heat of the interview hence my assertions. I will reiterate that abortion is not a thing I stand for and I should not be seen in that light and I admit to all mistakes made.
“I want to use this medium to thank my fans, family and friends for their constant love and support, I don’t intend to let you down.Thank you, Phyna,” she wrote.
