Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica Nlewedim, has been disqualified from the on-going fifth edition of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) TV reality show.

She was disqualified on Sunday for breaking several house rules which included disrespect for the Head of House rules, and goading, among other things.

Erica's cup became full the previous evening wnen she threw caution to the winds, abusing Laycon and even theatening to kill him after their exit from the BBNaija House.

For much of Sunday, Erica trended on social media, with several commentators predicting that Erica would be disqualifed - a prediction which came true minutes ago with Host Ebuka pronouncing Erica disqualified and ordering her to leave the house immediately.

Erica’s disqualification was soon followed by the eviction of Lucy, the first of the six nominated housemates to be evicted in the seventh week of the show.

The remaining housemates left to continue the battle for the grand prize of N85 million over the next three weeks are: Kiddwaya, Trickytee, Dorathy, Vee, Laycon, Nengi, Ozo, Neo and Prince.
