It was also disclosed that while raging she threatened to cut her mother’s life short.

“Last Friday, neighbours of the mother of actress, Mercy Aigbe watched as her sister, Patience, who is said to be a gynecologist came to her mother’s house and smashed the windscreen, side windows and lights on the car belonging to her mother.
“She took her anger another step further when she came back on Tuesday morning to burn down their mother’s house.
“It took the intervention of residents in the area to get fire fighters to the house to quench the fire, so it doesn’t spread to other houses, especially the school near the house.
“Children in the school were seen being evacuated from the building. Eye witnesses said the fire was so bad that the house was completely destroyed, with nothing left to salvage.
“According to those living around the neighborhood, the house belonged to Mercy’s mother’s late husband, who she has a son for.
“She was living in the mini duplex given to her son by his late father, while other flats (that were not affected by the fire) belong to the other children of the late man from his previous marriage.
“Dr Patience, however, succeeded in burning down her half brother’s inheritance, which is the detached house behind the main building in front.
“After burning the building, Dr Patience went on to report herself to the police.
“At the time she embarked on burning the house, their mother was said to be with Mercy, who later came to the house with her mother in a black keep to access the damage done to the house.
“Those in the know are claiming that Dr Patience had accused the old woman of witch craft activity done against her, to the advantage of her other popular daughter, Mercy Aigbe.
“Dr Patience was heard shouting that she is the one that will peme their mama. I come in peace.”
At the time she embarked on burning the house, their mother was said to be with Mercy, who later came to the house with her in a black SUV to assess the damage done to the house.
According to those living around the neighbourhood, the house belongs to their mother’s late husband, who the old woman had only one child for, a son.
She was living in the mini duplex given to her son, that is, Dr Pat’s half-brother, by his father.
The building is detached from the main building which is in front and where other flats are located.
The other flats which belong to the other children of the late man from his previous marriage were luckily not affected by the fire.
Those in the area said she had been manifesting mental instability for a while, insisting that her mother is the one deterring her progress.
The children of the late man, to whom the old woman was married, are now worried that Dr Pat might come back to do worse to their father’s property if they don’t take any action against her quickly.
After burning the building, Dr Pat reported herself to the police.
As things stand, Mercy’s mother doesn’t have a house to go back to, as the house is totally destroyed.
Earlier on Friday, 30 September, residents had woken up to the noise and screams of Dr Pat, who went on a rampage, destroying her mum’s car.
Her mum, who is battling arthritis, remained indoors, while her angry daughter called her names as she destroyed her car.
The older woman later came out after her daughter left, to assess the damage she did to her car’s windscreen, wipers, and front and back lights.
It was with shock that many watched the obviously angry lady abuse her mother and shout destiny stealer at her, as she destroyed the car.
This perhaps explains why she wasn’t in the house when Dr. Pat returned to set the house ablaze, as she had left the house to Mercy’s, fearing her life was in danger.
Those in the know said Dr Pat and Mercy are actually half-sisters, who share the same mother but different fathers.
Mercy Aigbe is a popular actress in the Nigerian movie industry.
She is also a businesswoman with a fashion store called Mag Diva Boutique which was commissioned in November 2014.
She was born in Benin city, Edo state of Nigeria but she spent most of her life in Lagos state.
