Mercy Eke Demands Retraction, Denies "Child Outside Marriage" Claim by P.M. News

 

Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 4 winner, Mercy Eke, has swiftly and publicly refuted a report by Nigerian news outlet P.M. News that claimed she was ready to have a child outside of marriage.

The report, published on Wednesday afternoon by the outlet's social media handle, P.M. NEWS (@pmnewsnigeria), carried the headline: 'I'm ready to have a child outside marriage,' Mercy Eke announces.

Star's Immediate and Vehement Denial

In an immediate and strongly worded response on her X (formerly Twitter) account, the reality star and entrepreneur lambasted the publication and demanded the story be taken down.

"Take this down! @pmnewsnigeria," Eke wrote, directly addressing the news handle. "Stop spreading fake news about me. I never said this or granted any interview."

Eke's direct and unambiguous denial leaves no room for speculation, confirming the report as unfounded and false.

History of Online Scrutiny

Mercy Eke, widely known as "Lambo," has consistently been a figure of intense public interest since her win in 2019. Her personal life, relationships, and public statements often draw immediate scrutiny, making her a frequent target for online gossip and fabricated news.

The star's quick action in shutting down the P.M. News report highlights a growing frustration among public figures regarding the proliferation of misleading information in the digital age.
