Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Kola, has been hit with a severe penalty after violating one of the show’s strictest confidentiality rules.
The announcement came on Monday from Head of House Jason Jae, who relayed Big Brother’s decision. Kola has been forbidden from speaking until further notice and will only be allowed to communicate using a writing pad.
The punishment followed Kola’s decision to disclose details of a private red telephone conversation, despite explicit instructions not to share its contents with other contestants.
The secret call had involved Agent X offering Kola a luxury manicure and pedicure worth ₦1 million, to be deducted from the grand prize. Kola declined the offer but later discussed the conversation with fellow housemates, prompting disciplinary action.
Big Brother outlined the conditions of the sanction:
“For the duration of this punishment, you’re only to communicate by writing on the writing pad provided, except when speaking to Big Brother. Each time you’re involved in a conversation, the housemate you’re addressing must read your words aloud before responding.”
The ruling underscores Big Brother’s zero-tolerance stance on confidentiality breaches, as the competition heads into a more intense phase.
