Former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Eric Oshiokhai, has reportedly landed in police custody following his arrival in Nigeria from the UK.

Popular blogger, Tosin Silverdam, reported that the ex-Lockdown housemate was picked up and detained for allegedly extorting unsuspecting victims with the promise of getting them a slot in Big Brother’s house.

Recall that some weeks ago, Legit.ng reported that a lady identified as Baby C cried out on social media and accused the BBNaija star of owing her about N5.3 million which was allegedly paid to facilitate her entry into the show.
