Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, has dismissed speculations and reports of having cancer.
NPO Reported that the actress, who had lately raised eyebrow over her weight loss, stirred public concern as she disclosed her battle with a cancer scare in her thyroid.
Johnson-Okojie had recounted her ordeal in the viral video with veteran actress, Joke Silva.
Reacting to the claims in a separate video shared on X on Tuesday, the actress held that she never had cancer.
She however expressed her gratitude to well-wishers while explaining that the video where she disclosed her cancer scare was misunderstood.
“First and foremost, thank you so much for all of you that have been calling, sending messages and prayers.
“I do appreciate it so much. But, I do not have cancer. I noticed that a clip from my TV Show Mercy’s menu have been flying around. I think it was cut. They cut the clip.
“I said I had a cancer scare, means I had this swelling in my neck. And my doctor felt it was something serious. I had problem with my thyroid. I’m perfectly okay. Thank you so much for all of your calls and messages.
“I am perfectly fine and I do not have cancer. Thank you messaging and checking up on me. Go back and the clip. It was completely misunderstood. I am fine.” She said.
While showing the scar of the surgical operation around her throat region, her husband, Prince Odiansonen Okojie, gave her a soft playful pat on her neck as he walked past the actress.
