  "account": "Big Brother Naija Season 11 has officially revealed that Aikou is one of the Gambits in the house, instructing him to keep his identity concealed from fellow contestants. During a diary session on Wednesday, the Big Brother revealed the responsibilities associated with the role and emphasized the need for secrecy. \"Aikou, you are the Gambit. From this moment on, your identity as the Gambit must remain a secret,\" Big Brother informed him. The announcement follows Sunday's live eviction show, where Aikou and Flora were selected as the two Gambits by viewers. Once this information becomes public, Aikou and Flora will no longer participate in the competition for the ₦160 million grand prize. Instead, they will assume the role of Big Brother's undercover operatives, tasked with executing confidential assignments to manipulate the dynamics among the housemates. As Aikou becomes fully briefed on his mission and warned to keep his identity hidden, the focus is expected to shift to his ability to carry out his duties without arousing suspicion among the housemates.",
