The newspaper earlier reported that Neche described herself as an overthinker who sometimes needs to recharge, a trait she said people could easily misunderstand.
The 2026 edition of BBNaija, themed “Show Ya Sef”, premiered on 26 July, with 24 housemates competing for a record ₦160 million grand prize.
Martins and Mercedes were the first housemates to be evicted. Kamsy became the third contestant to exit the show on Sunday.
