Removing a follower on Github in fact is possible with this workaround:

Block the user who watches you, as described in the github help.

Then unblock him again.

After that he will not be blocked anymore and he will also no longer follow you.

Wrote to Github support:

Is there any way to delete followers? I know about "Block User" option but it's not exactly what I want. Github API methods are also suitable.

They answered:

No, this isn't currently possible.

So, there is no way for now. Only "Block User".
