Big Brother Naija contestant Zita has received two strikes following a heated confrontation with fellow housemate Rooboy.

The clash erupted on Thursday after a team challenge, when Zita accused Rooboy of deliberately undermining her group’s efforts. The argument intensified until Zita hurled a plate of noodles at him. Rooboy retaliated by striking her, a clear violation of the show’s zero-tolerance policy on violence.

Although Zita later apologised and Rooboy accepted her apology, he admitted the incident may permanently damage their friendship.

Given the programme’s strict rules on physical aggression, the punishment could threaten Zita’s future in the competition.
