Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has appealed to Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show organisers to forgive housemate, Ilebaye after her altercation with CeeC.
TheNiche had reported earlier that the Kogi State-born BBNaija All Stars housemate now has very little margin for error after Biggie issued her a double strike for flouting the house rules during the Sunday eviction show.
Ilebaye had during a confrontation with fellow housemate, CeeC, after the Saturday night party pulled her wig and pushed Doyin.
Addressing the incident on Sunday night, Biggie said the rule book of the BBNaija house stated early that any housemate who gets violent is likely to be disqualified.
He said: “Ilebaye, you have read the rule book, yet you chose to be violent. Ilebaye is not the only guilty person. Ceec, your act didn’t make the situation better; for walking back into a violent situation, Big Brother found you guilty.
“For laying your hand on a fellow housemate, Biggie finds you guilty of physical violence. You are hereby issued a double strike. One more strike and you will be immediately disqualified. You will be issued a punishment should you survive today’s eviction.”
