Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate Victor Ikpe, popularly known as Keivo, was disqualified from the reality show on Monday, September 28, 2026, after a physical altercation with fellow housemate Tram during the final week of the competition.
The Keivo disqualified from BBNaija development brought the housemate’s campaign for the N160 million grand prize to an abrupt end, just days before the scheduled finale.

The confrontation reportedly began after Tram accused Keivo of taking a missing black shirt that Tram claimed belonged to him.
What initially appeared to be a disagreement over clothing escalated when the two housemates confronted each other about the accusation.
The dispute eventually became physical, prompting other housemates and show ninjas to intervene and separate Keivo and Tram.
Following the incident, Big Brother announced Keivo’s immediate disqualification for breaching the house rules governing physical violence.
The decision also removed Keivo from the finale voting process, ending his participation in the competition at a crucial stage of the season.
The disqualification is particularly significant because Keivo had already secured a place among the housemates competing in the Season 11 finale.
The incident also follows an earlier confrontation between Keivo and Tram over the same shirt, which had initially remained a verbal disagreement before tensions escalated.
Tram had reportedly told Keivo that the shirt belonged to him and that he had brought several identical shirts into the house. Keivo maintained that the shirt was his.
The disagreement became one of the more dramatic moments of the final week, with the intervention of Big Brother eventually bringing the confrontation to an end.
Keivo’s exit leaves the remaining finalists to continue their campaign for the N160 million prize ahead of the October 4 finale.
His disqualification also highlights the strict rules governing physical conduct inside the Big Brother Naija house, where housemates can face immediate sanctions for violence or other serious breaches of the show’s regulations.
