Biggie Issues Strikes to Kassia, Wanni, Shaun, and Handi

In a disciplinary move, Big Brother issued strikes to four housemates—Kassia, Wanni, Shaun, and Handi—on Monday for violating house rules regarding conspiracy and discussing nominations.

Biggie revealed video footage of the four housemates conspiring about who not to nominate before the official nomination process. The violation of Article 16 of the house rules earned them a strike, bringing them closer to potential disqualification if they accumulate more strikes.

Victoria Denies Attempting to Kiss Ozee

During Sunday’s live show, BBNaija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu confronted Victoria about an alleged attempt to kiss fellow housemate Ozee on Saturday night.

Ozee maintained that nothing happened, explaining that he respected boundaries. When asked directly, Victoria denied making any advances, clarifying that she had only asked Ozee what he would do if she tried to kiss him, and that she was tipsy at the time.

The incident raised eyebrows among viewers, but Victoria insisted it was merely a hypothetical question.
