Nando Disqualified-Elikem gets a Strike

After a very heated altercation between Ghana’s Elikem & Tanzania’s Nando in the “Big Brother Africa - The Chase” house on Friday, 26th July, 2013, a verdict has been met by Big Brother.

After tonight’s eviction show, 28th July, 2013, Big Brother called all the housemates to the living room and replayed the footage of the very tempestuous argument that almost led to a fight, or with Nando involved, a ‘blood bath’.


Nando, who already had one strike for concealing a weapon to the Saturday party a while back, was then given two more strikes for his bad conduct, one for his attempt at violence and the second one for his concealment of a pair of scissors under his bed. Immediately the announcement was made, he was disqualified and expelled from the house.


On the other hand, Elikem was also given a strike for counter-provoking Nando during their altercation and will remain in the house.
