BBNaija 10: Faith Disqualified For Physical Violence Against Sultana

The Big Brother Naija Season 10 house was rocked by a sudden and dramatic turn of events on Thursday, as housemate Faith Adewale was disqualified from the reality show following a serious physical altercation with fellow contestant, Sultana. The swift action underscores the show’s zero-tolerance policy against any form of violence, regardless of a housemate’s popularity or stage in the competition.

The announcement was delivered by Biggie during an emergency meeting called in the main lounge, where Faith was immediately instructed to pack his bags and leave the house. The incident, which led to the doctor-housemate’s removal, occurred during a heated rehearsal for a group task, identified by sources as a skincare task. Tensions flared after Sultana accused Faith of being overly controlling and attempting to dominate the group’s work, insisting on leading the task despite the subject matter not relating to his professional expertise as a medical doctor.

The verbal conflict escalated quickly into a physical scuffle when Faith forcefully dragged a basket containing the team’s task materials. This aggressive action caused Sultana to lose her balance and fall to the ground. She was reported to have sustained an injury in the process, including a twisted ankle, and later claimed that her hand was also hurt during the tussle. Despite attempts by other housemates, notably Kaybobo, to intervene and de-escalate the situation by taking the basket away, the emotional damage was done, with a frustrated Sultana declaring she could no longer work with Faith.

Faith’s disqualification, coming in the final week of the competition, serves as a stark reminder to contestants of the show’s strict rules against physical aggression, provocation, bullying, and intimidation, as outlined in the BBNaija rule book. Past housemates such as Tacha, Erica, and Beauty have all faced similar disciplinary action for breaches of house rules related to violence or repeated misconduct. The show’s management confirmed that Faith’s actions constituted a clear and serious breach of the rules, necessitating his immediate exit from the house. His abrupt departure has dramatically reshaped the dynamics of the season just days before the grand finale.
