Stanley Ontop Sets Record Straight on Angela Okorie's Safety Status
Nollywood actor and producer Stanley Ontop has stepped forward to clarify the situation surrounding actress Angela Okorie's safety, putting to rest widespread rumours about her potential rearrest following her release from Suleja Prison. The movie producer took to social media to address the confusion that had gripped fans and supporters after conflicting reports emerged online.
Conflicting Reports Create Confusion Among Supporters
The controversy began when Stanley Ontop initially shared concerning updates about police officers allegedly waiting outside Suleja Prison with intentions to rearrest Angela Okorie immediately after her release. This information sparked significant worry among the actress's dedicated fanbase, who had been closely following her legal situation. However, in a surprising turn of events, Stanley later made a complete reversal of his earlier claims, providing reassurance about Okorie's safety.
"I just spoke with Angela now, she's fine and safe... Disregard any news stating that she was rearrested. Legit Queen is very much okay... Thank you everyone Ontop really cares," Stanley declared in his clarifying post, directly addressing the growing anxiety among supporters who had been monitoring the case with concern.
Background of Angela Okorie's Legal Situation
Angela Okorie's recent legal troubles began last week when she was arrested and subsequently remanded in Suleja Prison following allegations of defamation involving fellow Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson. The Federal High Court in Abuja granted her bail on Friday, 30 January, but her actual release faced unexpected delays due to administrative procedures.
The verification process for her surety's residential address took longer than anticipated, keeping the actress in custody for several additional days beyond the court's ruling. This extended detention period contributed to the confusion and heightened emotions among fans who were eagerly awaiting her return to freedom.
Mixed Reactions from Social Media Users
The conflicting information shared by Stanley Ontop generated diverse reactions across social media platforms, with netizens expressing both relief and skepticism about the situation.

Broader Context of the Controversy
This incident represents just one chapter in the ongoing drama surrounding Angela Okorie's legal situation. Earlier reports indicated that Stanley Ontop had made allegations against activist VeryDarkMan, claiming he had involvement in Okorie's initial arrest. Stanley reportedly challenged VDM to swear he wasn't involved in the actress's legal troubles and warned Mercy Johnson to be cautious about what she shares with the activist.
The movie producer further alleged that the Ratel President was present at the National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre when he went to check on Okorie and was also in attendance during her court arraignment. These additional claims add layers of complexity to an already convoluted situation within Nigeria's entertainment industry.
As the dust settles on this particular episode, fans and observers continue to monitor developments in Angela Okorie's case while questioning the reliability of information circulating about celebrity legal matters in Nigeria's vibrant entertainment scene.
