She definitely would break the Internet in the next hour!
Actress and mother of two, Mercy Aigbe just released video of her assault by husband, Lanre Gentry.
The seven-year-old union which produced a son made headlines when on Friday April 28; photos of a battered Mercy Aigbe-Gentry went viral online!
She was said to have been battered by her husband, Lanre Gentry and had suffered injuries on her face.
The actress moved out of her marriage, reported to the Anti-Domestic Violence Unit of the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and the husband was charged to court. He spent seven days at the Kirikiri prisons after which he was released on bail.
The case is still in court but adjourned till July.
Recall that the State Government in a letter written through the Directorate of Public Prosecutions, DPP, May 22, has indicated its interest in prosecuting the alleged case of assault. The request for the case file shows Government’s resolve not to back down from the case between actress and her husband.
The husband has been denying the allegations saying she exaggerated and lied against him.
Meanwhile, Mercy, who is now an advocate for campaign against Domestic Violence shared this video and wrote:
“Violence is not an option! It is inhumane and shouldn’t be condoned!…………..
