Big Brother Naija ‘Show Ya Sef’ housemate, Victor Ikpe, popularly known as Keivo, has been disqualified from the reality show following a physical confrontation with fellow housemate, Tram.
Biggie announced the decision on Tuesday after calling the remaining contestants to the lounge and showing them footage of the incident.
After the clips were played, Big Brother confirmed that Keivo had been removed from the competition, with his final moments in the house showing him being taken through the storeroom.
Biggie identified Keivo as the person who initiated the physical confrontation and announced his disqualification.
“Keivo, as the perpetrator, has been removed from the house. He is therefore disqualified from the house,” Big Brother announced.
He also cautioned the other housemates against engaging in physical violence.
“Violence is never an option,” Biggie said.
Keivo’s disqualification came after a disagreement with Tram over a black shirt on Monday.
Tram had accused Keivo of taking the shirt, but Keivo denied the allegation, explaining that he owned a similar one. He became upset after being referred to as a thief, leading to a heated exchange between the pair.
The argument eventually turned physical after Keivo threw the first punch. Other housemates tried to separate them before Biggie intervened and ordered everyone to freeze.
Three ninjas were then deployed to the house and escorted Keivo out through the storeroom door.

Before his removal, Keivo became emotional while explaining his side of the incident. He maintained that the dispute was not merely about the shirt but about being accused of taking something that did not belong to him.
He also expressed concern about how viewers would perceive him after the incident, insisting that he did not want to leave the show with his reputation defined by the altercation.
Prompt News reports Keivo’s disqualification came after his name disappeared from the show’s official voting platform, prompting speculation about his status among viewers.
The development comes just days before the end of the ‘Show Ya Sef’ season, with the grand finale scheduled for October 4.
The eventual winner is expected to receive a N160m grand prize.
