During the pool party on Thursday night, Tjay, a contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 9, faced a near-drowning scare.

Tjay, along with his fellow housemates, was in the pool when he unexpectedly lost his balance.

A video capturing the incident has since circulated widely, showing the 33-year-old doctor struggling to stay above water.

Fortunately, Ben, Tjay's house partner, noticed the distress and promptly came to his aid.

The latest season of BBNaija kicked off on July 28, introducing 28 housemates divided into 14 teams.

The competition will last for a total of 71 days, concluding on October 6. The champion of this year's edition will walk away with a whopping N100 million prize.

This week, all pairs of contestants, with the exception of team Beta (Ben and Tjay) who secured immunity, and Ndi Nne (Chinne and Nne) who are in charge of the house, face the risk of being evicted.

Even the Mbadiwe Twins, who clinched the initial heads of house (HoH) title, are among those facing potential eviction due to a surprising new twist introduced by Biggie.
