BBNaija winner Mercy Eke’s family accuses Tacha of killing their mother

Accused ex-BBNaija housemate Tacha

The rivalry between the BBNaija 2019 overall winner Mercy Eke and her fellow ex-housemate Anita Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha or Simply Tacha, seem to have taken another dimension.

The family of the 26-year-old Imo State-born video vixen and Imo State University graduate, who happens to be the first female to win the Big Brother Nigeria Reality TV series, is pointing an accusing finger at the self-acclaimed Port Harcourt First Lady of instigating her fans to “kill” their mother on the social media when in fact their mother is still alive and kicking.

Mercy’s elder sister by name Promise, in a video clip shared on Instagram on Monday, came out hard on Tacha and her fans for the “evil rumour” about the death of their beloved mother.

Speaking on behalf of Mercy’s family, Promise who said she was heartbroken as a result of the death rumour said:

“Good morning everyone. Please you guys should come and judge this. I am heartbroken. I woke up this morning only for me to see what the titans posted. What a wicked world! Who did my mum offend? How can Tacha and her toxic fans put up my precious mummy’s picture and wrote ‘Gone too soon’? #RIP. What for? What are we dragging? Can’t they accept the fact that they lost out and move on? Why bringing my mum and I into this? What has Mercy done? Is she the first to win in this world? What is her crime? Please I am calling on all responsible mothers in Nigeria, all over the country, please help me, my mum doesn’t deserve this,” she cried out.

As at the time of going to press, Tacha was yet to make any comment on this allegation.
