Former housemate of Big Brother Naija and first runner-up of the Nigerian reality TV show’s inaugural season in 2006, Francisca Owumi, has passed away.
Her family posted a social media statement announcing her passing with the tagline, “A daughter and sister.” Amen. May her soul rest in peace.
It was reported that the reality star had died following a brief illness.
She was in the house with contenders like the winner Katung Aduwak, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Gideon Okeke, Maureen Osuji, Ify Ejikeme, and the late Joseph Ada, among others. She was well-known for her exuberant dancing moves.
In 2012, she briefly ventured into the Nigerian music scene, releasing two singles, ‘Gbadun You’ and ‘Diva’, under her own record label, Cisca Entertainment.
She was also a writer for Revista, an international magazine based in Ghana.
