ID Cabasa's team suffers the first eviction

The first two housemates evicted from the Naija Star Search show were ID Cabasa's team members.

The veteran music producer's team suffered the first significant blow as the Afrobeat music talent show entered its critical rounds.

Cabasa's team were served an eviction notice a week earlier after his team garnered the lowest audience putting them up for probation.

So the teammates had to battle each other by kicking one of themselves off the show, most probably the weakest amongst them.

Unfortunately, the sledgehammers of the team fell on Thekhaleed and Esjay.
