The Actor’s Guild, of Nigeria, AGN, is not happy with the rumour that Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson was on the boat that claimed the lives of some of its members, including Jnr Pope.
Legit.ng had reported that Jnr Pope and some others had lost their lives in a boat mishap while going to a location in the riverine area. A survivor, Thank God Ikoma, had gone to testify of how he escaped and said Emeka Mercy Johnson was also on the boat.
In a letter released by the guild, it was stated that the person Thank God was referring to was not Mercy Johnson but her former PA who was called with the sobriquet, Emeka Mercy Johnson.
