Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate Victor Ikpe, popularly known as Keivo, has been disqualified from the reality show after a physical altercation with fellow housemate Tram.
Biggie announced Keivo’s disqualification on Tuesday after showing the remaining housemates footage of the incident, which occurred during the final week of the competition.
After reviewing the footage, Big Brother identified Keivo as the housemate who initiated the physical confrontation and ordered his immediate removal from the house.
“Keivo, as the perpetrator, has been removed from the house. He is therefore disqualified from the house. Violence is never an option,” Biggie announced.
The confrontation began on Monday following an argument over a black shirt.
Tram accused Keivo of taking his shirt, but Keivo denied the allegation, explaining that he owned a similar shirt. The disagreement escalated after Keivo became upset over being called a thief.
The argument eventually became physical, with Keivo throwing the first punch before other housemates intervened.
Biggie subsequently instructed the housemates to freeze while security personnel entered the house and escorted Keivo out.
Before leaving the competition, Keivo became emotional as he explained that the disagreement was not really about the shirt but the accusation that he had taken another person’s property.
He expressed concern that viewers could leave the show believing he was a thief and said the accusation could affect his reputation outside the house.
Keivo’s name had also disappeared from the show’s official voting platform earlier on Tuesday, prompting speculation among viewers about his status before Biggie formally announced his disqualification.
His removal comes during the final week of BBNaija Season 11, with the grand finale scheduled for October 4, 2026.
The winner of the season is set to receive a ₦160 million grand prize.
