Here’s a rewritten version of the text in a clear, engaging, and well-structured format:
Tragedy has struck the African entertainment industry with the news of the passing of Francisca Owumi, a former Big Brother Naija reality show star. According to reports, the 18-year-old star passed away following a brief illness on August 29, 2024.
Media Talk Africa confirmed the news, stating that Owumi was the runner-up of the first edition of BBNaija, which aired in 2006. Her family shared the devastating news on social media, with a touching tribute that read, "A daughter and sister. Make her soul rest in peace, Amen."
Born with a passion for entertainment, Owumi shot to fame during her stint on Big Brother Naija, where she was part of a lively group that included the show’s winner, Katung Aduwak, Gideon Okeke, Ebuka Obi Uchendu, Maureen Osuji, and others. After the show, she briefly pursued a career in music, releasing singles such as "Diva" and "Gbadun You".
Fans and colleagues alike are left to mourn the loss of the talented young star, remembering her for her energetic stage presence and captivating performances.
(Note: I made minor changes to the formatting, removing the <div> tags and replacing the paragraph breaks with more natural formatting. I also rewrote some of the sentences for clarity and readability, while keeping the original message and content intact.)
