Evicted Big Brother Naija ‘No Loose Guard’ housemate Mayor Frosh has recalled how he was forced to drop out of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) abruptly.

He claimed in an interview with Hero Daniels that he was a victim of cultism, bullied by cultists for refusing to join their group.

The incident, which occurred between 2016 and 2017, left Mayor attacked and his belongings stolen.

Fearing for his safety, Mayor’s parents transferred him to a private university after he dropped out of UNILAG.

He said: “I was in UNILAG but there was a cult incident that happened. It was between 2016/2017. Then, cultism was still a big issue in some schools.

“I was attacked, my belongings were taken from me. It was a way of trying to get me to join. I left Unilag and told me parents and they enrolled me into a private university.”
