The family confirmed that the burial will be a private interment ceremony in a statement via her official Instagram page on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.

They also requested continued prayers and respect for her memory during this difficult time.

The statement read, “We lay our beloved Monalisa Ayobami Stephen to rest this Thursday, May 22nd, 2025. In honour of her wishes and the family’s, this will be a private ceremony. We ask for continued prayers and respect for her memory during this time. Forever in our hearts.”

In other news, Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, has clarified concerns about her health after an old video of her discussing a cancer scare made the rounds online.

Naijaonpoint reports that in the snippet from her Mercy’s Menu TV show, the thespian recounted her health struggles and sudden weight loss during a conversation with her senior colleague, Joke Silva.

Mercy revealed that she had a cancer scare, and her doctors thought a tumour on her thyroid was cancerous, so she underwent a thyroid removal surgery.

However, some fans misinterpreted the video to mean that the movie star has cancer and started sending prayers and well-wishes to her.

Reacting in a video via her Instagram page on Tuesday, Mercy Okojie clarified that she does not have cancer.
