My husband is entitled to more than one wife as a muslim – Mercy Aigbe.

The Popular Nollywood Actress Mercy Aigbe has fired back at critics who criticised her marriage to Kazeem Adeoti and accused her of snatching another woman’s husband.

Recall that the actress has been in the spotlight in recent times after revealing her marriage to Kazeem Adeoti, who was rumoured to be a friend of her husband and a married man.

Not long after Mercy’s revelation her ex-husband, Asiwaju Lanre Gentry, took to Instagram to shade the Nollywood actress and her new man.

Lanre who shared two children with mercy shared a throwback photo of  himself, the actress, Kazeem and Kazeem’s wife at an event, stating that the ‘truth is out at last

”At last, I thank God the truth is out this is just one out of many to God be the glory. I don’t need anyone’s comment please.” he wrote.

Nigerians did not find the revelation warming as they expressed their disappointment in the actress integrity and morals, some others supported her stating that Kazeem is a Muslim so he is allowed to marry more than one wife.

On Wednesday, the matter was among the topics discussed on ‘Your View’, a programme on Television Continental (TVC).

But on Thursday, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, the show’s host, disclosed that the actress reached out to her after the programme to debunk some claims about her marriage to Adeoti.

In the message, Aigbe said Adeoti and Gentry were never friends as rumoured in some quarters.

The movie star also said the picture shared by her ex-husband was on the occasion of Adeoti’s birthday years ago.

The 44-year-old said Adeoti had invited her and other movie heavyweights to the occasion. Aigbe also said she had attended the event alongside Gentry at the time.

“Mercy Aigbe had called me because she felt that we were misleading the direction of our conversation. According to her, her current husband which she recently got married to and her ex were never friends,” Morayo said.

The TV host also quoted the actress to have said that there was nothing wrong with her marriage to Adeoti since he is a Muslim.

“And secondly she told me that ‘Morayo the man is a Muslim and he is entitled to more than one wife. Yes, he had issues with the first wife so he is not marrying her as a second wife’ And she has accepted to be a second wife. Doesn’t she deserve to be happy?

“She was really upset that people were going to her DM threatening her kids and this has nothing to do with her children.”
