Big Brother Naija has honoured three of its former housemates who have passed away.

During the show on Monday night, all the current contestants gathered as images of the late stars were displayed on the screen.

A minute of silence was also observed in their memory.

Those remembered were Francisca Owumi, Joseph Ada, and Rico Swavey.

Francisca, who was runner-up in the maiden season of 2006 and loved for her lively spirit, died in 2024 after an illness.

Joseph, who also featured in the first season, passed away in May 2023 following health challenges.

Rico Swavey, whose real name was Patrick Fakoya, joined the Double Wahala season in 2018.

He lost his life in 2022 after a car accident.
