Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate Keivo has been disqualified from the popular reality TV show following a physical altercation with fellow housemate Tram over a black shirt.
He was sent packing from the ‘Show Ya Sef’ house on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, after spending 65 days in the competition.
Confirming the incident in an official address to the housemates, Big Brother noted that what began as a disagreement later escalated into physical violence. He described what transpired as a serious breach of the rules governing housemate conduct and safety in the house.
Before delivering his verdict, he instructed the housemates to watch a clip of the incident and noted that considerable leniency had been shown throughout the season in the expectation that housemates would understand their boundaries and exercise restraint during moments of anger, frustration, or disagreement.

Biggie further stressed that disagreements and misunderstandings are inevitable in the house, but how housemates choose to respond to them remains their responsibility.
“No disagreement, accusation, or personal grievance justifies violence,” he told the housemates, before making his position unequivocal: “violence is never an option.”
After reviewing the footage of the fight, he identified Keivo as the perpetrator and announced his immediate removal from the house and subsequent disqualification from the competition.
The remaining housemates were also reminded that the pressures of the game, the frustrations of communal living, and personal conflicts do not excuse their actions.
Keivo’s disqualification leaves nine housemates in the race for the BBNaija Season 11 crown and the ₦160 million grand prize, but only one of them will be crowned the winner.
Those heading into the final stages of the BBNaija Season 11 finale are Aikou, Barry, Bluethophia, Flora, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem, and Tram.
