Francisca Owumi, the Nigerian reality TV star, is dead.
“A daughter and sister. May her soul rest in peace, Amen,” her family announced on social media.
The reality star was said to have passed on after a brief illness.
Owumi was the first runner-up on the inaugural season of Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija) in 2006.
She was also a writer for Revista, an international magazine based in Ghana.
She was in the house with contestants such as the winner Katung Aduwak, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Gideon Okeke, Maureen Osuji, Ify Ejikeme, and the late Joseph Ada, among others.
In 2012, she briefly ventured into the Nigerian music scene, releasing two singles, ‘Gbadun You’ and ‘Diva’, under her own record label, Cisca Entertainment.
