According to the movie maker, Mercy Johnson made the excuse that she wanted to be with her family during the Easter period, and since he (the film maker) knows the importance of family, the actress was given time off from filming, with the promise that she would be back on location in two days' time. However, she was said to have never returned till this report was filed.
The filmmaker also made it known that he continued paying hotel bills for an extra 33 days, claiming it was all in the hope that the actress would return, but they did not know that all her assurances to be back soon on location were all unfulfilled.

After several weeks of not returning, they heard she was pregnant with her second child and had traveled to the US to stay for the remaining three months before giving birth. This prompted the filmmaker to report the case to the police, and Mercy was declared wanted.
The filmaker insisted that he wanted his money to hire another artiste to continue with his film. Mercy Johnson has not returned to Nigeria from America where she welcomed her second child several months ago.
It would be recalled that while the actress was pregnant with her second baby, she got a surprise baby shower from her friends. The baby shower got her so emotional that she broke down and started crying.
