Story Highlights
On February 2, 2026, Lovely Okojie released a video accusing Nollywood star Mercy Johnson of knowingly marrying Prince Odianosen Okojie while his first marriage remained valid. Lovely claims she explicitly warned the actress via phone and insists that no divorce or bride price return ever took place.
Lovely Okojie has reopened old wounds regarding her past marriage to Prince Odianosen. In a new video, she directly accused Mercy Johnson of ignoring the truth.
Lovely claims she warned the actress years ago. She says she screamed on the phone to tell Mercy that Odianosen was a married man.
The video has sparked fresh debate across social media platforms. Lovely insists that the actress cannot claim ignorance about the family situation.
The shocking phone call claim
Lovely detailed a dramatic moment from the past. She claims she spoke to Mercy Johnson directly when Odianosen visited Canada.
According to Lovely, she screamed during the call to warn the star. She told Mercy that Odianosen was fully married at that time.
Lovely says that was the last time she saw her husband. She believes Mercy Johnson was fully aware of the deception from the start.
This new allegation complicates an already difficult month for the actress. It surfaces just days after Angela Okorie was detained by police over a bitter dispute involving the movie star.
Marriage status and denial
Lovely also challenged the legal status of the union. She stated clearly that she never received a divorce request or papers.
She also claims her family never returned the bride price. In her view, the traditional marriage rites remain binding and valid to this day.
Lovely accused Odianosen of abandoning his first family. She said he denied his own children to build a new life with the actress.
Public scrutiny on the couple has intensified recently. The drama continues even as Eddie Bliss issued a public apology to Mercy Johnson following his own legal trouble.
The Linda Ikeji connection
The video also targeted popular blogger Linda Ikeji. Lovely accused the blogger of covering up the truth to protect Mercy Johnson’s image.
She compared Linda’s past actions to recent defense by VDM. Lovely claims Linda knew the truth but chose to defend the actress instead.
Lovely ended her message with a plea for peace. She asked the public and the couple to leave her and her children alone.
