Local media reported that the 67-year-old and 38-year-old were both severely wounded in the blast at their home near Muenster. Two horses, which had been brought inside the building, were also injured and later euthanized. Three police officers suffered minor injuries.

The women had been involved in long-term strife with their landlord and planned the gas explosion on their eviction day, according to investigators.

They said the two apparently wanted to kill themselves, but also knew others could die in the explosion.

The house had to be torn down after the explosion and ensuing fire.

News Agency of Nigeria reports that although Khafi escaped the initial nominations, Seyi, the veto-power holder ended up putting her up to save himself.

When asked by Biggie during the diary session the choice of replacement, Seyi said Khafi has been nominated only twice for eviction adding that he wants to test her fate to see if she would escape eviction on Sunday.

Seyi, who got three nominations, heeded Biggie’s advice after he was punished for misusing the veto power of chance badge in July.

The other housemates up for eviction were nominated by fellow housemates. This was the first time in three weeks that this nomination method was adopted.

For the last three evictions, housemates were split into competing groups. First, Icons and Cruisetopia and then, Enigma and Legends.

They were made to compete in tasks and the losing group was put up for possible eviction. However, with the housemates’ number reducing, Biggie reverted to the old order.

On Monday, during the nomination process, Cindy nominated Diane and Seyi, Diane nominated Omashola and Venita; Elozonam nominated Seyi and Mike.

Also, Frodd nominated Omashola and Elozonam, Ike nominated Venita and Khafi, who nominated Elozonam and Venita.

Mercy nominated Omashola and Venita, Mike nominated Frodd and Seyi, Omashola nominated Elozonam and Diane.

Finally, Seyi nominated Mercy and Frodd, Tacha nominated Mercy and Frodd, and Venita nominated Frodd and Khafi.

With five housemates up for possible eviction, housemates with the least number of votes will be booted out of the show during the next eviction show.

The nomination process started like it normally does on Monday night with housemates putting up two of their fellow housemates up for possible eviction.

In what could have been Jeff and Thelma topping the list with six and five nomination nods respectively, Biggie in yet another twist announces that all 16 housemates have been nominated and hence up for possible eviction next week Sunday.

The reason for this decision as Biggie later revealed was their punishment for disobeying house rules which he said included: refusal to attend morning workout sessions, whispering and speaking inaudibly amongst other infringements.
