Mercy Eke shrugs off criticisms over age falsification
Responded with sarcasm when queried
Mercy Eke has ignored the controversy surrounding her true age.
Recall that a fan called her out for doctoring her age over the weekend after she posted her PVC and unwittingly gave out her Voters Identification Number (VIN), apparently because she did not know that it could be used to get her real age.
A fan went ahead to use the VIN to access her details on INEC’s server and took to Twitter to announce his findings that she is actually 32.
On her last birthday in September 2022, Mercy had claimed to be 29 and her birthday post was reshared as Nigerians began calling her out for lying about her age.
Not bothered by the fuss about her age, she returned to Twitter today to quote-tweet her initial post.
A follower then called her out directly and she responded.
“But you’re close to 40 yrs old why you dey lie for us,” the follower wrote.
Mercy replied sarcastically: “I’m actually 52.”
