Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has stirred reactions on social media after she was seen cleverly hiding her mobile phones at the star-studded premiere of actress Eniola Ajao’s highly anticipated movie in Lekki, Lagos, on April 13, 2025.
This amusing yet relatable moment followed a recent experience at a glamorous event hosted by fellow actress Iyabo Ojo, where Mercy Aigbe shockingly lost two of her expensive phones in one night.
In a lighthearted Instagram reel shared online, the talented actress was captured discreetly tucking away her devices, evidently determined not to fall victim to phone theft for a second time. Her caption read, “Once bitten, by now I should be shy.”, humorously referencing her unfortunate incident at the previous event.
The video quickly went viral on social media, attracting countless reactions from her fans, colleagues, and followers who found the clip both hilarious and understandable.
Several celebrities and social media users took to the comment section to share their thoughts and support for Mercy Aigbe’s cautious move.
