Comedian Mmesoma Mercy Obi, popularly known as Ada Jesus, reportedly died on Wednesday after battling kidney disease.
The days before her death were, however, dominated by stories of how veteran actress Rita Edochie placed a curse on the deceased.
That followed claims by Ada Jesus that Rita connived with controversial Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje of the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministry to perform fake miracles.
Months after making the grave allegations, Ada Jesus was diagnosed with a kidney problem that left parts of her body swollen.
The family of the comedian, who had become paralysed, took her before Odumeje for deliverance but the cleric rejected her.
Instead, he and Rita laid curses on her, saying she will pay heavily for her “blackmail” and “lies”.
Both of them declared that the ailing young woman will die from her illness as a lesson to others.
The backlash that followed the pronouncements forced the man who calls himself Indabosky and the veteran actress to recant and declare that they had forgiven the comedian.
Following Ada Jesus’ death on Wednesday, some Nigerians called out Odumeje and Rita for their use of heavy words, with many insinuating that the deceased suffered a spiritual attack because of their curses.
It was, however, recalled that the comedian was once close to the actress whom she referred to on occasions as her mother.
Below are five times Ada Jesus shared pictures of herself and the woman she called “sweet mummy”.
