BBNaija Season 11 housemates Aikou and Flora, who were previously guaranteed places in the finale but barred from winning the grand prize as Gambits, have been reinstated as full housemates and are now eligible to compete for the ₦160m prize.

The development was announced on Monday, following Sunday’s “Operation Release the Gambit” twist, which gave viewers the power to decide whether one or both housemates would be released from the special status.

“Flora and Aikou are officially out of Gambit mode. Biggie has reinstated them as full #BBNaija housemates, making them eligible to compete for the prize money,” the organisers announced.

The organisers added that the two housemates could now face eviction if nominated.
