Big Brother Naija star Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has been arrested by the Nigerian Police Force.

The arrest was confirmed by movie producer and Chief Executive Officer of Best of Nollywood (BON), Seun Oloketuyi, in a post on his Instagram page on Sunday.

According to the report, Tacha was picked up at her Ajah residence early Sunday morning after failing to honour three invitations from the police between May and August 2026.

The arrest is believed to be linked to a viral video in which she allegedly made false rape and trafficking allegations against an unidentified man, accusing him of trafficking young people to Europe under the guise of scholarships and labelling him a rapist and child molester.
