Big Brother Naija Pays Tribute to Late Former Contestants

In a heartfelt moment on Monday, the current housemates of Big Brother Naija paid tribute to three former contestants who have passed away. The late Francisca Owumi, Joseph Ada, and Rico Swavey were honored with a tribute image displayed on the screen inside the house.

Francisca Owumi, known for her infectious energy and love for dance, was a contestant in the inaugural 2006 season and passed away in 2024 after battling an illness. Joseph Ada, a participant in the first season, tragically passed away in May 2023 due to health complications.

Rico Swavey, who rose to fame in the 2018 Double Wahala season, was fondly remembered for his creativity and calm demeanor before his life was cut short in a fatal car accident in 2022. The tribute served as a poignant reminder of the enduring influence and legacy of former housemates within the Big Brother Naija community.
