Nigerian actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has dismissed rumours suggesting she is battling cancer following her recent weight loss.
A video of her speaking about having a cancer scare made the rounds on social media on Monday, May 19.
Many feared that the cancer scare might be responsible for her significant weight loss.
However, in a video uploaded on social media recently, Mercy expressed gratitude to her fans and well-wishers for their support and concern, assuring them that she is healthy.
She emphasised that the viral clip was misinterpreted and urged the public not to spread misinformation.
“First and foremost, thank you so much for all of you who have been calling in and sending messages and prayers.
“Thank you. I do appreciate it so much. But I do not have cancer. I noticed that a clip from my TV show, Message Menu, has been flying around. And I think it was cut.
“They cut the clip. I said I had a cancer scare. It means that I had this swelling on my neck. If you can see the line there. And my doctor felt it was something serious.
