Several Nollywood stars who were heartbroken about the sad news took to social media to mourn the deceased, however, critics lashed out at them for not helping the actor with his treatment when he was alive and for crying ‘crocodile tears’ after his death

Reacting to the backlash, Chioma alleged that in 2016, Leo Mezie announced that he needed money to undergo a kidney transplant in London and the Nollywood industry including a certain Apostle donated a huge sum of money to him. She said after collecting the money, Leo traveled to London with his wife and returned after some time without undergoing the surgery.

She added that he told everyone including the apostle that the doctors in London confirmed that he was healed and had no need for a kidney transplant.
