He becomes the fifth winner of the show since its inception.

On Sunday final eviction night, Laycon emerged winner after polling the highest votes of the five remaining housemates. The last five housemates were Laycon, Dorathy, Nengi, Vee, and Neo.

Vee was the first housemate to leave the BBNaija house on Sunday night, while Neo and Nengi followed suit.

Following his victory, Laycon is expected to go home with N85m worth of prize.
