BBNaija removes Keivo from voting platform after house fight

Big Brother Naija housemate Victor Ikpe, known as Keivo, has been removed from the official voting platform for the “Show Ya Sef” season, according to a live check of the platform on Tuesday. Keivo’s name was no longer among the housemates eligible to receive votes. The development followed a physical confrontation with fellow contestant Tram during the final week of the reality show.

The organisers announced on X that Biggie would address the housemates. “Make sure you stay locked into DStv Ch. 198 or GOtv Ch.

49, Biggie is going to address the Show Ya Sef housemates – soon!” the post said. However, the show had not officially stated why Keivo’s name was removed or what disciplinary action, if any, would follow. The incident began with a disagreement over a black shirt that Tram said belonged to him.

The argument escalated, and Keivo threw the first punch before Big Brother instructed the housemates to freeze. Keivo later became emotional while explaining his conduct. He said the dispute concerned more than the shirt because he objected to being accused of taking something that was not his.

He also said he did not want viewers to remember him as a thief or define his reputation by the confrontation. Viewer responses were divided. Some criticised Keivo’s use of violence, while others argued that Tram should also face consequences.

The remaining contestants listed in the report included Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem and Tram. The season is scheduled to end on October 4.
