BBNaija 11: You are the Gambit, Big Brother tells Aikou

Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate Aikou, whose real name is Amyr Yousufzai, has been formally revealed as one of the season's "Gambits." The announcement came during his diary session on Wednesday, where Big Brother instructed him to maintain strict secrecy about his new role.

Aikou received detailed explanations about the responsibilities associated with being a Gambit. This revelation follows the live eviction show where host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu initially announced Aikou and fellow housemate Flora as the season's two Gambits. While viewers were aware of the twist, Aikou's formal briefing marks the first time he has been officially informed by Big Brother.

As Gambits, Aikou and Flora are now ineligible for the show's ₦160 million grand prize. Their new function is to operate as undercover agents within the house, executing confidential assignments designed to manipulate the activities and relationships among the other contestants. With Aikou now aware of his mission and the need for discretion, the focus shifts to his ability to carry out his tasks without arousing suspicion among his fellow housemates.

Aikou, you are the Gambit. From this moment on, your identity as the Gambit must remain a secret.
