Big Brother Naija ‘Show Ya Sef’ housemate Victor Ikpe, popularly known as Keivo, has been disqualified from the reality show following a physical altercation with fellow housemate Tram.
Big Brother announced Keivo’s disqualification on Tuesday, September 29, after summoning the housemates to the lounge and showing them what he described as “disturbing” footage of the incident. Following the playback of the clips, Biggie identified Keivo as the perpetrator and confirmed that he had been removed from the competition.
“Keivo, as the perpetrator, has been removed from the house. He is therefore disqualified from the house,” Big Brother announced.
Biggie also warned the remaining contestants against physical confrontation, telling them: “Violence is never an option.”
The announcement confirmed earlier speculation about Keivo’s status after his name disappeared from the show’s official voting platform on Tuesday.
The incident occurred on Monday, September 28, during the final week of the reality show after Tram accused Keivo of taking his black shirt. Keivo denied the allegation, explaining that he owned a similar shirt and expressing frustration over what he considered an accusation of theft. The disagreement subsequently escalated into a physical confrontation by Keivo.
Big Brother then ordered the housemates to freeze before three ninjas entered the house and escorted Keivo out through the storeroom. Before his removal, Keivo became emotional while explaining his actions. He maintained that his reaction was not simply about the shirt but about being accused of taking something that did not belong to him.
He said he did not want to leave the reality show with viewers believing he was a thief or have his reputation defined by the accusation. Keivo’s disqualification comes just days before the ‘Show Ya Sef’ grand finale, scheduled for October 4.
The eventual winner of the season is expected to receive a N160 million grand prize.
