assert could not be found within the project

[ghost]

Hi,
I am facing this issue when trying to import these libraries:

import {
  JolocomSDK,
  JolocomTypeormStorage,
  JolocomKeychainPasswordStore,
} from 'react-native-jolocom'

Error message:

error: Error: Unable to resolve module `assert` from `node_modules/ethereumjs-util/dist/account.js`: assert could not be found within the project.

I came across ethereumjs-util/issues/92 issue, which is the exact error but still couldn't understand how to resolve it.
I was hoping if someone can assist me with this.

here is the detailed stack trace:
