Actress' marriage reportedly crashes as she apologises to Mercy Johnson

It has been reported that the marriage of popular Nollywood actress

According to popular blogger Linda Ikeji, Tonto Dikeh's marriage is in trouble as another woman has stepped into the picture.

Fuelling this report is the fact that Tonto Dikeh removed her husband's surname from her Instagram account.

Linda Ikeji reached out to both camps. An unnamed aide of Tonto Dikeh's husband Oladunni Churchill said "haba, there's no issues at all, why do people like making issues out of nothing. The fact that she changed her name on social media does not imply crisis, what if it's for a business purpose."

A source close to Tonto Dikeh said: "they had a small issue but honestly it's nothing am sure they are fine."

In a twist of events, Tonto Dikeh apologised to fellow actress Mercy Johnson on Instagram for calling her daughter a witch back in 2013.

Tonto Dikeh wrote "Good morning world Since I have your undivided attention I better make good use of it and not miss the blessing in this lesson!!! @mercyjohnsonokojie Ever since I had my baby I have been reminded constantly about an ill statement I made about one of your kids a very long time ago.I want to use this media to say I am so sorry, I sincerely apologise from the bottom of my heart.I had no right to say what I did, I totally disgraced myself with that.
