Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson and her husband, Prince Odi Okojie, have publicly addressed the swirling infidelity rumours threatening their marriage. The politician and philanthropist broke his silence after allegations of him impregnating a side chick went viral on social media.
A United Front Against the Rumours
The controversy began when popular blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus alleged that Prince Odi Okojie was involved with side girlfriends and had impregnated one of them. The blog further claimed that Mercy Johnson, upon discovering the alleged affair, confronted the other woman with assistance, leading to the termination of the pregnancy.
In response to the growing online speculation, Mercy Johnson initially took to her Instagram on Friday, December 19, 2025, sharing loving photos with her husband. Her caption, referencing 'no sleep for the wicked,' hinted at the turmoil. Not long after, her husband joined the fray to deny the claims emphatically.
Love and Celebration as Their Answer
Prince Odi Okojie chose a powerful method to counter the narratives: sharing a heartwarming video from their daughter Angel's 10th birthday party. The clip, filled with affectionate moments between the couple, served as their joint statement against the gossip.
This public display of unity is particularly significant as the couple celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary just in August 2025. During that celebration, Mercy Johnson had described her husband as a friend and her strength, crediting God for sustaining their union despite external pressures.
Family First: Mercy Johnson's Stance
Amidst the drama, Mercy Johnson has consistently reaffirmed her family's importance. In a recent post featuring her husband and their four children, she declared them her top priority, calling them her 'team' and emphasising that they are all she has.
The actress's reaction to the scandal and her husband's subsequent video have sparked a wave of reactions from fans and followers online. Comments on their posts range from expressions of support and love for the couple to sarcastic remarks aimed at the alleged 'side chick.'
This incident is not the first time Mercy Johnson has spoken out on marital issues in Nollywood. She recently showed support for her colleague, Regina Daniels, who is embroiled in her own marital controversy with husband Ned Nwoko. Mercy Johnson described Regina's situation as a 'case of injustice,' further highlighting her stance on protecting family.
