Social media influencer Eddie Bliss has publicly apologized to Nollywood star Mercy Johnson Okojie following her release from police detention.
The TikToker, whose real name is Blessing Aniedi, appeared somber in a new video addressing the defamation saga involving the actress and her husband, Prince Henry Okojie.
Admission of guilt and regret
Blessing Aniedi explained that her actions stemmed from negligence rather than malice when she shared a post from an online blog.
She admitted to picking a story from a blog known as “Cutie Juls” and reposting it on her page without checking if the details were true.
The creator acknowledged that the video caused significant pain to the Okojie family and expressed deep regret for her mistake.
”I am sincerely sorry for whatever damage I must have caused the family,” she stated in the video released on Wednesday, January 21, 2026.
Blessing Aniedi clarified that she had no hidden agenda or ill intentions when sharing the content initially. She pleaded with the actress to find a place in her heart to forgive the error.
Gratitude for withdrawn charges
The video also served as a confirmation that the legal battle between the parties has ended. Blessing Aniedi thanked the movie star profusely for choosing to drop the case instead of pressing for prosecution.
This confirms earlier reports that Mercy Johnson withdraws case against Tiktoker Eddie Bliss with a stern warning to desist from such acts.
”You don’t know what you’ve done for I and my family,” Aniedi said while expressing her relief. She prayed for the actress and her household, asking God to grant their heart desires in return for their mercy.
The situation had previously drawn significant attention, with critics weighing in on the arrest, including instances where VeryDarkMan tackles Mercy Johnson over the detention of the creator.
A promise to change
Blessing Aniedi concluded her message with a solemn vow to change her content strategy moving forward. She promised to never post defamatory content about Mercy Johnson or her family ever again.
The creator noted that this experience taught her a valuable lesson about verification and responsibility on social media.
