LAGOS, Nigeria (Chatnewstv.com) — The family of Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Kola Omotoso has threatened legal action after a viral video sparked outrage online and led to him being labeled a “predator.”
The controversy began after a clip circulated Friday showing Kola in conversation with fellow contestant Dede. While the exchange appeared casual, many viewers interpreted his behavior as inappropriate. The footage quickly spread on social media, with some users accusing him of predatory conduct.
In a statement posted on his official Instagram page, Kola’s family and management rejected the accusations as unfounded.
“We want to categorically state that the defamatory narratives being spread about Kola are false, malicious, and dangerous,” the statement read. “Kola has never at any point violated the rules of the show or disrespected his fellow housemates.”
The family warned that it would pursue legal action against anyone continuing to circulate damaging claims.
“We urge the public to desist from spreading defamatory remarks. Failure to comply will leave us with no choice but to pursue legal action,” the statement said.
Kola remains in the house as the season progresses toward its ₦150 million grand prize, the biggest since the show’s debut in 2006.
During Sunday’s live eviction show, no housemate was eliminated after Head of House Rooboy used a special power from the “Tree of Trinkets” to cancel all nominations for the week.
