Ex-BBNaija star Francisca Owumi passes away
Francisca Owumi, the first runner-up of Big Brother Naija’s debut season in 2006, has passed away at 40.
Her family announced her passing on Instagram with the caption, “A beloved daughter and sister. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.”
While the cause of her death is unknown, reports said Owumi had battled a serious illness shortly after her 40th birthday celebration.
During her time on the show, she shared the spotlight with notable housemates, including Katung Aduwak, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Gideon Okeke, and the late Joseph Ada.
After leaving the Big Brother house, Owumi pursued her passion for music.
In 2012, she launched her music career, releasing two singles, “Gbadun You” and “Diva,” under her record label, Cisca Entertainment. Her music combines elements of afrobeats and contemporary Nigerian pop.
She also shared her talents as a writer for Revista, an international magazine in Ghana.
