BBNaija housemate, Mickey shocks many as he expresses anger and vows to make Wanni X Handi quit the Big Brother Naija reality TV show.

This was revealed in a statement he made during his diary session with Big Brother.

Mickey spoke at length about Wanni X Handi, revealing that the duo feels other housemates are scared of them due to what happened between them and an evicted housemate, Ruthee.
