Big Brother Naija Season 9 has taken a dramatic turn as contestant Nelly has firmly denied allegations that she stole her colleague Chinwe’s 24-karat gold jewelry. The accusation surfaced on Tuesday night when Chinwe claimed that Nelly’s boyfriend, Sooj, found the jewelry purse in Nelly’s laundry bag and returned it to her.

However, in a candid conversation with fellow housemate Kassia on Wednesday morning, Nelly refuted the theft accusations, asserting that she had no knowledge of how the jewelry ended up in her laundry bag. She expressed her frustration over the situation and mentioned that she would have taken more drastic action if not for her boyfriend’s advice to handle the matter privately with Chinwe.

“I was waiting for that energy she had last night to continue this morning. But when she [Chinwe] saw me, she couldn’t say anything,” Nelly remarked, clearly annoyed by the situation.

“I looked her in the eye, nothing happened. If she’s bold, let her call me an armed robber to my face, and we’ll see what happens. What gave her the audacity to call me an armed robber? Is she out of her mind? Let her report to Biggie, there are cameras everywhere. They’ll show exactly what happened.”

Interestingly, the cameras did not capture the moment Nelly confronted Chinwe about the accusation. The only footage available shows the two women seemingly wrapping up their discussion, with Nelly appearing to offer an apology. However, it remains unclear whether the apology was related to the jewelry incident or another matter entirely.

In the exchange caught on camera, Nelly was heard saying, “We are cool, yeah? I’m sorry about it,” to which Chinwe responded, “Yeah, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

This incident has left fans and housemates alike speculating about the true story behind the missing jewelry and the unresolved tension between the two contestants. As the drama unfolds, viewers are left wondering whether this controversy will continue to simmer or if peace will finally be restored in the BBNaija house.
