Mercy and Tacha may be disqualified or get strikes from the organisers of the Big Brother Naija (BBnaija) show for engagement violence in the house.

There was serious drama in House today, Friday, September 27, 2019, which led to Tacha hitting Mercy.

This happened after both housemates engaged in a heated argument, leading to what appears like a physical confrontation.

Seyi had earlier called on Mercy to come to the lounge so they could read Biggie’s scroll.

However, Mercy, who just finished having her bath, came out late for the reading.

Tacha, who was already boiling, seized the opportunity to rain insults on Mercy.

She said: “You are a moron, remain there and don’t come out. Clout chaser, old woman. You keep using your body to get everything you want. You have been using Ike to get what you want. You can’t stand eviction; that is why you need Ike to help you.”

Mercy replied: “You are very stupid, you Instagram beggar. Go and treat your body odour before you talk to me, you stink. At least, I have a boyfriend (Ike) to get me what I want. What has your boyfriend done for you?”

During the argument, Tacha pushed Mercy and also dragged her weave-on twice while Mercy struggled to control her anger.

She picked up a pressing iron but was stopped by Omashola.

The show of shame has attracted several reactions from fans and followers of the show.

In yet another dramatic development, Cindy Okafor’s race in the Pepper Dem House came to an end today as she became the 17th housemate to be evicted from Biggie’s House.

The shocking eviction took place this morning following host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu’s visit to the house.

Cindy, who was introduced to the show on July 30 alongside Elozonam, Enkay and Venita, is an online radio presenter, writer and content creator.

In an interesting turn of events, Ebuka strolled into the house with the envelope containing the name of the evicted housemate.

Prior to that, he asked all the housemates to pack their bags and get ready for the show at the lounge.

On Monday, Frodd used his veto power card to nominate Mike, Tacha, Ike, Cindy and Elozonam for possible eviction.

Following Cindy’s eviction, fans took to social media to express their shock at the turn of events.

@Thecybernewt said, “This breakfast has too much pepper. Which kain eviction be this.”

@Raynergy tweeted, “Cindy is an amazing girl and she’ll do just fine.”

@Byran said, “Cindy is an amazing girl and she’ll do just fine.”

@JaneChy said, “This gonna be most pepperish moment in BBN4, why not wait till Sunday.”
