Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Koyin, has admitted that he lied about his age during the show’s premiere.

Koyin, who had initially claimed he was 21, making viewers believe he was the youngest in the house alongside Joanna, confessed to fellow housemate Gigi Jasmine on Friday that he is actually 25.

“I am 25 years old and not 21 years old. I had to reduce my age because of modelling,” Koyin revealed.

In response, Gigi praised him, saying, “You have some high level of emotional intelligence which I appreciate a lot.”

This revelation comes shortly after another housemate, Ivatar, also clarified a false age claim. Ivatar admitted she is 37 years old, not 40 as she stated during the premiere, explaining that she was only joking.
