Keivo has been disqualified from the Big Brother Naija Season 11 house following an incident that took place on Monday night. In an official address to the housemates, Big Brother confirmed that what began as a disagreement had escalated into physical violence, describing the incident as a serious breach of the rules governing housemate conduct and safety in the house. Keivo was identified as the perpetrator of the violent act and was subsequently removed from the house and disqualified from the competition.
Before delivering the warning, Big Brother instructed the housemates to watch a clip of the incident. He then addressed the wider conduct of the house, noting 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.
Big Brother 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,” Big Brother told the housemates, before making his position unequivocal: “violence is never an option.”
The remaining housemates were also reminded that the pressures of the game, frustrations of communal living and personal conflicts do not excuse their actions. Big Brother called on them to conduct themselves with maturity, respect and self-control for the remainder of their stay, including in how they respond to Big Brother's calls and tasks
