VeryDarkMan Calls Out Mercy Johnson Over Arrest of TikTok Creator
Popular Nigerian social media critic VeryDarkMan has publicly criticised Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie following the arrest of a TikTok content creator, Eedie Bliss, over allegations linked to unverified claims about the actress’s family. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The controversy traces back to December 2025, when rumours circulated online alleging that Mercy Johnson’s husband, Prince Henry Okojie, had allegedly purchased a mansion for another woman said to be pregnant for him outside their marriage. The claims, which went viral on social media, were never officially confirmed.
Reacting to the rumours at the time, Eedie Bliss reportedly shared a video in which she cited popular gossip blog Cutie Juls as her source. She went further to allege that Mercy Johnson had connived with the woman’s house help to cause a miscarriage.
Following the spread of the allegations, Eedie Bliss was arrested and detained in Abuja, allegedly after a petition was filed by Mercy Johnson’s husband.
The arrest triggered widespread reactions online, with many social media users questioning why action was taken against the content creator while the alleged original source of the claims was not similarly addressed.
Reacting to the development, VeryDarkMan condemned the arrest, describing it as unnecessary and unfair. He argued that defamation is a civil matter, which should be resolved through the courts rather than through police action.
He accused Mercy Johnson of bias and pointed out what he described as a contradiction in her stance on similar issues in the past.
VeryDarkMan recalled an earlier incident involving Sammy Nwoko, the brother of actress Regina Daniels, who was arrested over alleged defamation following a petition by her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. At the time, Mercy Johnson had reportedly spoken against the arrest.
“Dear Mercy Johnson, you can’t fight for the release of Sammy when Ned arrested him over defamation and later turn around to do the same thing with your husband,” VeryDarkMan said.
The social media critic also revealed that the detained content creator is reportedly set to get married on Saturday, warning that he would involve his legal team if she is not released.
“If you and your husband feel defamed, please sue her to court and stop using the police to oppress people. She even stated her source as Cutie Juls. I heard her wedding is this Saturday—release her and go to court,” he added.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Mercy Johnson nor her husband has issued an official public response to VeryDarkMan’s claims.
