Big Brother Naija organisers have confirmed the tragic death of crew member Ayotunde Elegbede during Sunday's live eviction show. The announcement was made by show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who revealed that the production team had been informed of the passing by Elegbede's family.
The somber news came after the first two evictions of BBNaija Season 10 had already taken place, casting a shadow over the evening's proceedings.
Sunday's Double Eviction
Prior to the announcement, the show had seen two housemates exit the BBNaija house. Danboskid became the first contestant to be evicted from Season 10. His departure was marked by an emotional moment as he received a warm embrace from his close ally in the house, Zita, while other housemates cheered him with the traditional "three gbosa for Danboskid."
Ibifubara followed as the second housemate to be eliminated from the competition. According to the voting charts displayed after the show, housemate Denari narrowly escaped eviction, having received the next lowest number of votes from the audience.
The double eviction and subsequent announcement about Elegbede's passing made for an emotionally charged episode that has resonated with fans across Nigeria.
Recent House Dynamics
Season 10 of the popular reality show has been marked by intense drama and interpersonal conflicts. Recent days have seen allegations of manipulation involving housemate Dede, as claimed by Jason and Kola. Meanwhile, Faith has alleged assault by fellow housemate Imisi, while Sultana has been at the center of romantic controversies, reportedly kissing two different men within a 48-hour period.
The show continues to captivate Nigerian audiences with its blend of strategic gameplay, budding romances, and occasional conflicts, maintaining its position as one of the country's most-watched television programs.
BenriNews extends condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Ayotunde Elegbede during this difficult time.
