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 entered the Nigerian music market, releasing two tracks, ‘Gbadun You’ and ‘Diva’, through her own record company, Cisca Entertainment.
She also wrote for Revista, an international magazine based in Ghana.
