Francisca Owumi, a former Big Brother Naija housemate and first runner-up of the reality TV show’s inaugural season in 2006, has passed away.
Her family announced her death on Instagram with the caption, “A daughter and sister. May her soul rest in peace, Amen.”
Owumi reportedly died after a brief illness. She was a memorable contestant on the first season of Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija), known for her energetic dance moves and charming personality. She shared the house with notable contestants such as Katung Aduwak, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Gideon Okeke, and the late Joseph Ada.
After her stint on the reality TV show, Owumi pursued her passion for music, releasing two singles, “Gbadun You” and “Diva,” under her record label, Cisca Entertainment, in 2012. She also worked as a writer for Revista, an international magazine based in Ghana.
