Sabrina, one of the housemates in the ongoing Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 10, has disclosed that she was denied re-entry into the show despite being declared medically fit.
The 32-year-old had withdrawn from the reality series earlier due to health concerns.
On Monday, she informed fellow contestants that she would be leaving the competition to prioritize her wellbeing.
In a statement, the show’s organisers confirmed her exit, explaining that the decision came after she held discussions with Big Brother and the medical team stationed on-site.

However, during an Instagram live session on Sunday, Sabrina revealed that she had anticipated a return to the house following a series of medical checks.
According to her, the test results showed no issues, and doctors reassured her that she was in good health — news that initially gave her hope of resuming the contest.
She further explained that she was kept in isolation without her phone or media access for five days while awaiting clearance. Eventually, on Friday, she was informed that she would not be permitted to return.
“After exiting, I was transported to a hospital and led to a gynaecologist. He examined the same day. An admission was then asked by the clinic. On Tuesday, I was told all results were unremarkable. Nothing was wrong with me. I was told I was fine,” she said.
“I was elated because I believed it meant I would be on my way back to the journey I started. I was told to hold on. So I did, with no outside communication or interaction.
“I prayerfully longed for a call that would confirm my return, but days passed and nothing.
“On Friday, I received what I consider one of the most excruciating calls of my life. On the call, I was told, ‘I have the unfortunate task of telling you that you would no longer be returning to the show.’
“I received the call while in the hospital waiting for the next thing. I waited for five days. Do I want to come back? Of course, yes. I don’t think my journey has ended. I miss Kola as much as he misses me, I miss the lights, I miss diary sessions, I haven’t worn half of the clothes I brought in.”
