She backed this up with pictures of her marriage certificate and her two children whom she insisted belonged to Prince Odianosen Okojie. These claims almost disrupted Prince Okojie’s marriage to Mercy Johnson, but they somehow weathered through.
Prince Okojie said in an interview around that time:
“My estranged wife, Lovely’s purpose is just to split Mercy and myself which I don’t think is possible. Mercy and I are waxing stronger by the day. Myself and Mercy are still together and our love is still waxing stronger.”
