BBNaija removes Keivo from voting poll after fight with Tram - Punch Newspapers

Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate, Victor Ikpe, popularly known as Keivo, has been removed from the ongoing voting poll for the “Show Ya Sef” season. A live check of the official voting platform by our correspondent on Tuesday confirmed that Keivo’s name was no longer listed among the housemates eligible for votes.

Photo credit: DSTV BBNaija website The development comes as the organisers announced that Biggie would address the “Show Ya Sef” housemates following a physical altercation involving Keivo and fellow housemate, Tram. “Make sure you stay locked into DStv Ch. 198 or GOtv Ch. 49, Biggie is going to address the Show Ya Sef housemates – soon!” BBNaija posted on X on Tuesday. The announcement has heightened speculation among viewers about possible disciplinary action against Keivo, although the show had yet to officially state the reason for his removal from the voting poll as of the time of filing this report.See more Punch stories on Google.Add Punch on Google Keivo and Tram clashed on Monday during the final week of the reality show following a disagreement over a black shirt which Tram claimed belonged to him. The argument escalated, with Keivo throwing the first punch, before Big Brother intervened and ordered the housemates to freeze. Following the incident, Keivo became emotional while explaining his actions, insisting that the dispute was not simply about the shirt but about being accused of taking something that did not belong to him. He maintained that he could not leave the show with viewers believing he was a thief and later told Big Brother that he did not want his reputation defined by the incident. The development has since sparked mixed reactions from viewers, with some criticising Keivo for resorting to violence and others questioning whether Tram should also face consequences.

You cannot be displaying favouritism and be foolish at the same time.” Another viewer, #Natasha_ify, said both housemates were at fault but criticised Keivo for failing to control his temper. “Both Keivo and Tram are at fault….. Keivo people should be happy that it happened early, and you guys should use all that money gift him.. at mastics one winner. Hope he learns how to control his temper cos I can’t support violence,” she wrote. #dijiaderogba also criticised Keivo, writing, “Nah, Keivo messed up so badly. I can’t bring myself to even justify whatever he did yesterday night.” However, #MargaretSTK questioned the development, writing, “That’s too fast. Why not address the issue before taking away oga kolo? His fans should save the money and buy him.” Some viewers also called for Tram to face consequences. #busisiwemadziba wrote, “Tram must also be disqualified, remove his photo. No VOTES for Tram please.” Meanwhile, #germanjuic3ee described the incident as a costly mistake coming close to the finale, writing, “Imagine the last days to the final and you can’t control your hands and emotions, and you’ve now lost it all. It’s very insane.” The “Show Ya Sef” season is scheduled to end on October 4, with the remaining finalists including Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Keivo, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem and Tram.
