In earlier interviews, Mercy credited her mother for raising her and her siblings through difficult times. “My mum taught me to be strong and prayerful. Everything I am today, I owe to her,” she once said.

Mercy Aigbe, who is married to filmmaker Kazeem Adeoti, is one of Nollywood’s popular actresses and entrepreneurs.

Her mother’s burial is expected to be attended by several movie stars and friends from the entertainment industry.
