Popular Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson Okojie has made a significant public statement, confirming the withdrawal of a defamation lawsuit while issuing a strong warning to online critics and faceless bloggers. The mother of four revealed this in a detailed video message recorded from a restaurant on Monday, January 19, 2026.
Withdrawal of Charges and a Firm Warning
In her address, Mercy Johnson confirmed that she and her husband, Prince Okojie, have officially withdrawn the defamation charges filed against TikToker Eedie Bliss. Bliss had previously made serious allegations against the actress's husband. However, Johnson clarified that this decision was made solely out of respect for certain individuals who intervened, and it does not signal an end to her legal battles.
"Thank you for the love but I felt the need to say that it will no longer be business as usual," the actress declared. She emphasized that she has other planned court cases for the year against those who persistently target her family. Mercy Johnson stressed that her marriage is a private matter, built on a strong foundation that cannot be shaken by online lies and propaganda.
Revelations on Faceless Blogs and Family Impact
The veteran actress made startling claims about the nature of anonymous gossip blogs in Nigeria. She alleged that many faceless blogs are owned or funded by fellow actresses and colleagues with personal vendettas. Mercy Johnson expressed her frustration at the damaging narratives these platforms spread, questioning their ultimate goal of trying to ruin her marriage.
She heartbreakingly revealed the real-world consequences of these online attacks, stating that her children have faced bullying at school. "I have kids who are being bullied in school because of what you write. We have parents who don't want my kids to touch their school bags because I am a witch," she shared, highlighting the severe emotional toll on her family.
Appreciation and a Plea for Privacy
Despite the challenges, Mercy Johnson took a moment to thank everyone who showed her support during the ordeal. She specifically mentioned online critic VeryDarkMan, who had publicly thanked her for dropping the charges against Eedie Bliss. Her closing message was a direct and emotional appeal for peace.
In the caption accompanying her video, she reiterated, "Please, you all should leave my family alone." She also used the hashtag #Nollybloggersassociationmakeunarest, calling for restraint within the online community. This development follows recent viral allegations claiming Prince Okojie had an affair, which Mercy Johnson appeared to address indirectly by recently sharing a playful video with her husband set to the song "Men Dey" by Anyidons.
