Husband

2021 marks ten years since Mercy Johnson got married to Odianosen Okojie, a prince of the Bini in Nigeria. The wedding was a four-day event that began on the 25th and ended on the 28th of August 2011.

Prince Odianosen Okojie is a hotelier, politician, auto dealer, and Henod Group of Companies chairman.

When he shared his plans to marry the actress back in 2011, a lady called Lovely Okojie had alerted the press that she was still married to the man and has two kids for him.

Her plan to stop the wedding and reclaim her “dear husband” was unsuccessful, and the prince married Mercy amid tight security.
