Popular Nigerian actress, Kemi Afolabi, has reacted to those attacking her colleague, Mercy Aigbe despite the fire outbreak at her home.
She urged people to stop trolling her colleague who is going through a rough patch now.
Mercy suffered a huge loss on Wednesday due to a fire that destroyed several properties worth millions of naira at her home.
In the wake of the tragic incident, some social media trolls and critics claimed that the disaster was a deliberate attempt by Mercy to promote her upcoming movie ‘Thinline’, and others hurled abusive words at the actress, referencing her marriage saga with Kazim Adeoti’s first wife.
In response, Kemi Afolabi, in a video shared on Instagram, pleaded with critics to stop trolling Mercy and questioning why people would think her colleague would use such a tragic situation to promote her movie.
Kemi added that Mercy needs support and not online attacks.
She said, “I am begging on behalf of Mercy… she did not send me and I know she is always a strong woman. I just feel so bad that she has to go through this. Please guys any support you can give her at this time. Can you stop trolling her please?
“I know we are are human and nobody is perfect. We already discussed about the house. We have people who have told her they would support her. It is a big deal. If you want to think about everything that has burnt down including her properties, the house itself, the filming equipment.
“I cannot believe people are still trolling her. This is unfair. All she needs is you support. Forget whatever you guys might have against her. How can someone allow her house to burn to promote a movie.”
