Following reports that Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe was yesterday involved in an embarrassing situation with her husband, the management of V Channel and Oodua TV have come out to deny the report in its entirety.

According to a story published by blogger, Stella Dimoko-Korkus, Aigbe’s husband somehow could not find her at the location of a recording and went berserk making it necessary for the organisers to announce through the public address system that he was looking for his wife.

According to the reports:

Yesterday Sunday April 7, 2013 whilst you and I were going about our businesses, a little drama unfolded in Lagos between Actress Mercy and her hubby Lanre.

This is the gist from the beginning for those who will not understand if i start from what happened.

Sola Fajobi, that guy that organises NextMovieStar and Supermom has just floated 2 TV stations, V Channel and Oodua TV. So yesterday, he hosted Mercy Aigbe, its was a recorded TV Show for Oodua Amounmaworan (TV). It was a star studded show attended by Mercy’s husband and friends.

So slightly before the show ended, Mercy just vanished and everybody started looking for her including her hubby, Lanre Gentry.

After like an hour or so, the hubby forced the MC to announced that he was looking for his wife and when that didn’t work, he stood up a with fierce look and began causing a scene..when it was obvious he meant business, they later took him to a room where his darling wife who has arrived the venue in a short black dress with her back bare had changed to a night gown!!!

Enraged hubby Lanre  dragged her out in the night gown and threw her into his SUV and drove angrily out of the venue whilst shocked onlookers looked on!”

As you read this now, Mercy’ s car a Nissan Solaria is in front of Sola Fajobi’s Troy Lounge in Ogba and no tone word has been heard of what might have transpired last night.

The question now is… Why did Mercy change into a night gown in a room whilst her hubby was in the recording room watching the show being recorded?

Why did the couple arrive the venue in different cars?…To pose?
What could have happened?Was the actress in the room making a movie unknown to the hubby?

I hope she is okay sha and has not been pummelled by hubby indoors last night.

I no fit answer any of these question but denials are free of course!

In its reaction to the report, the management of the TV stations have denied that anything like that happened saying the blogger concocted the story.

The press release, signed by Funke Oluwole, ended by challenging the blogger to “furnish the public with evidence of Gentry’s anger and battery, or Mercy leaving in a nightgown.”

Read the full text of the response below:

After reading the latest lie from Stella Dimoko, one can only conclude that the blogger is on a poorly orchestrated vendetta against Mercy Aigbe-Gentry, a successful actress, wife and mother. It is also easy to deduce from the incoherent and watery ‘report’ that Mrs Dimoko has no idea what journalism or blogging is all about because the story comes across as fiction from a puerile, retrogressive and unproductive mind.

Stella fictitiously and wickedly averred in her report that Mr. Lanre Gentry, husband of frontline Yoruba actress, Mercy Aigbe pummelled her after finding her in a night gown inside a hotel room. This is nothing but a figment of Stella’s myopic and infantile imagination. While not joining issues with a blogger who knows zilch about the tenets of journalism considering her antecedents, we would summarise what happened yesterday for the sake of clarity and Mrs Gentry’s legion of discerning fans.

Indeed, Mercy was hosted by indigenous television station on Startimes, Odua Mounmarowan, on Sunday evening. She came to the event with her friends, younger sister and Faith Irabor, a journalist in her car. However, Mr. Gentry came in from his hotel in Oregun, Lagos. The event was well-attended by movie and media personalities. Immediately after the event, Mercy went to the changing room allotted to her in company of her husband and Faith Irabor. On getting to the car park, however, Mercy’s car didn’t start; so she joined her husband with her friends and left for Oregun, her husband’s hotel.

In all of these, one can’t get where Stella got her concocted report from. Mr Gentry left the venue happy as the event was successful and without hiccups.
As at the time the couple left, the musician specially invited to perform, Sunny Melody was still performing.
We are therefore confused as to where Mrs Dimoko got her story from? The moon, perhaps. Why does Mrs Dimoko keep publishing lies all in the name of journalism? Is she not happy that a younger woman, Mercy, has a flourishing career as an actor and producer and also enjoys domestic felicity? Mrs Dimoko, these are things God can do for you too if you stopped destroying homes and people.
Having said these, we challenge Mrs Dimoko to furnish the public with evidence of Gentry’s anger and battery, or Mercy leaving in a nightgown. We strongly believe that those who mean well for journalism should not watch people like this blogger drag the noble profession through the mud.
