In other news, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) debunked a report that actress Mercy Johnson was allegedly involved in the boat accident that killed Junior Pope and others.
In a statement signed by its secretary Abubakar Yakubu on Wednesday, May8, the guild stated that Mercy Johnson was not involved in the boat accident.
According to the statement, one of the survivors Thank God Ikoma during a recent thanksgiving service mentioned one Emeka who once served as Mercy Johnson’s personal assistant in his thanksgiving remarks and many assumed he was referring to the actress because Emeka is popularly known as “Emeka Mercy Johnson”.
AGN claimed a blogger subsequently reported that Mercy Johnson was involved in the tragic incident.
