Nigerian reality TV star, Mercy Eke has responded after an explicit video featuring a woman who closely resembles her went viral.
In the video, which cannot be shared here, the woman is seen exposing her g£n!tals for the camera while using an ad*ult toy on herself.
The video began circulating amid reports that Mercy and some of her friends got into a fight and they began spilling each other’s secrets, including who is allegedly sleeping with which married man and who is sponsoring who.
As the video gained traction, with many viewers saying with conviction that Mercy is the one in it, the former Big Brother Naija reality star released a statement addressing it.
She wrote: “The video y’all are circulating can never be me. I do not wear long nails… no piercing.
“I don’t wear such socks, that girl does not look like me. Sorry to disappoint y’all evil fantasies. I don’t do such nonsense. Not my MO.”
Cristiano Ronaldo, the world-famous footballer and Portugal captain, said that nobody will take his shine because two ‘rats’ from TV that nobody knows criticized him.
The Al-Nassr forward spoke while hitting out at the people criticizing him in recent times.
Recall that Ronaldo recently suffered criticism from pundits and fans over his failure to lead Portugal to glory at the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
The 39-year-old failed to score a goal at the Euro 2024 as Portugal were eliminated in the knock-out stage.
There were also calls for him to retire from international football and give room to younger players in the Portugal team.
However, speaking on the development on Rio Ferdinand Presents, Ronaldo said: “People always take the worst part, not always the good part. But I’m not going to finish my career because two rats criticise me.
“The world loves me, the fans love me. This is my motivation to carry on football. People love me.
“No one is going to take my shine away because two people from TV that nobody knows criticise me,” he further stated.
The family of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has voiced their disappointment and frustration with the police investigation into his death, accusing the authorities of complicity and a lack of transparency.
In a statement, the family’s representative, Emmanuel Oroko, criticised the police for relying on witnesses’ views without conducting a thorough investigation.
The family also alleged that the police failed to cooperate with the family’s independent autopsy and toxicology test, and refused to provide access to evidence and items taken from the crime scene.
The family has petitioned the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission to remove the officers in charge of the case, citing apparent mishandling of the investigation.
The family’s statement reads: “On all fronts of the investigation, the police officers who investigated the murder of the late singer exhibited overt complicity in the narrative.
“The police relied on witnesses’ views to reach legal conclusions. They failed to tell us what investigation they carried out and what they discovered.
“Secondly, when the court granted us an order to conduct an independent autopsy and toxicology test, the police refused to cooperate with us.
“Based on our interaction with the forensic pathologists and their requirements, we wrote the police to give access to the forensic experts to see items taken from the scene of the crime including notes made by them.
“All these will help the forensic experts to have a better view of what happened and also form a reasonable conclusion after considering all facts and evidence before them.
“We petitioned the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission to remove the officers in charge of the case because of their apparent mishandling of the investigation into the death of Mohbad.”
“The Police Service Commission is the civilian oversight body established under the Nigerian Constitution 1999 for the Nigeria Police. Its powers include appointment, promotion, discipline and dismissal of erring police officers except the Inspector General of Police. We are yet to get a response from them,” he added.
