Sabrina, a contestant on the current season of Big Brother Naija, announced her decision to exit the reality show on Monday, citing unspecified medical reasons. The 10th-anniversary edition of Nigeria’s popular televised competition, which isolates contestants in a monitored house, has drawn widespread attention across Africa and beyond. Her abrupt departure follows the surprise evictions of fellow housemates Danboskid and Ibifubara just one day earlier.

The contestant informed her peers of her plans while packing her belongings, stating, “I just want to let you guys know so that it would not look like I just disappeared.” Fellow housemate Kola, described as a close friend, was visibly emotional following the announcement, with on-air footage capturing him in tears. Shortly afterward, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu posted a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter) that read simply, “Sabrina .” The truncated social media update fueled speculation among viewers, though no additional details were provided by the host or show organizers.

If Sabrina’s exit is confirmed, she will become the third participant to leave Season 10 within 48 hours. Local outlet Media Talk Africa reported that Danboskid and Ibifubara were formally evicted during a live broadcast Sunday, with viewers voting to eliminate the pair. Unlike their removal, Sabrina’s potential departure appears voluntary and health-related. Producers have not clarified whether she will rejoin the competition after receiving treatment, leaving her status unresolved.

Big Brother Naija, known for its high-stakes challenges and audience engagement, typically requires participants to remain in the house until eviction or voluntary withdrawal. Medical exits, while rare, have occurred in prior seasons, often prompting scrutiny of the show’s health protocols. The program’s production team has yet to release a statement addressing Sabrina’s situation or any adjustments to the competition’s timeline.

Fans have expressed concern on social media, with discussions trending under hashtags linking Sabrina’s name to the show. Her exit, should it proceed, would reduce the remaining housemates to 15 as the season enters its fourth week. With a grand prize of 120 million Nigerian naira (approximately $150,000) at stake, the development introduces new uncertainty into the dynamics of the contest. The show’s international audience, which streams episodes via the Multichoice platform, now awaits updates on whether Sabrina’s journey in the house has truly concluded.
