Nollywood Actor Stanley Ontop Raises Alarm Over Alleged Police Plot Against Angela Okorie
Prominent Nollywood actor and producer Stanley Ontop has sounded a serious alarm regarding the safety of fellow actress Angela Okorie, following disturbing reports of an alleged police plan to re-arrest her immediately upon her release from Suleja Prison. This development comes despite the Federal High Court in Abuja granting her bail last Friday in connection with defamation allegations involving actress Mercy Johnson.
Bail Granted But Release Delayed by Technical Verification Issues
While the court officially approved Angela Okorie's bail several days ago, the actress remains confined at Suleja Prison due to what Stanley Ontop described as a technical hitch in verifying her surety's residential address. The actor provided a crucial update via his Instagram account on Monday, February 3, explaining that the verification process had finally been completed and the court had signed off on her release documents.
"Angela Okorie will be out in few minutes," Stanley wrote on social media. "There was a delay in the verification of her surety's residential address yesterday. But the court has signed for her release now."
Fresh Allegations of Police Surveillance and New Petition
In a shocking revelation, Stanley Ontop claimed to have received confidential information suggesting that police officers are currently stationed outside Suleja Prison gates with what he termed a fresh petition against the actress. According to his allegations, law enforcement personnel are prepared to apprehend Angela Okorie the moment she exits the prison facility.
"We got an info that there's a fresh petition against Angela Okorie and that some policemen are stationed in front of Suleja Prison to apprehend her again immediately she's released," the actor stated emphatically in his social media post.
Stanley Ontop Questions Nigeria Police Professionalism
The Nollywood figure publicly challenged the Nigeria Police Force, questioning their operational methods and apparent departure from standard professional protocols. In a strongly worded message directed at the police, Stanley demanded to know why authorities would opt for what he described as an apprehension plot rather than extending a formal invitation to the actress.
"@nigeriapoliceforce na like this una take dey work? What happened to invitation? Why are you people arresting citizens you are meant to protect?" he questioned pointedly.
Stanley concluded his emotional appeal with a plea for Angela Okorie's safety, writing: "Make nothing shaa happen to Angela Okorie on her release day. May Nigeria never happen to you."
Social Media Reactions to the Controversial Allegations
The actor's alarming claims have generated significant reactions across social media platforms, with many Nigerians expressing concern and solidarity with the embattled actress:
- @destiny_oje commented: "God please protect her she will come out strong in jesus name Amen"
- @liss_girrl noted: "From 'Praise the Lord' to 'Lord, have mercy' in 2.5 seconds....We asked for grace, but she's handcuffed in disgrace"
- @cleopatra_mardea_clarke stated: "No amount of intimidation can't shut what God himself has designed. Be strong our legit queen. They'll try but they all will fail"
Background of Angela Okorie's Legal Situation
Angela Okorie was initially arrested last week and subsequently remanded in Suleja Prison over allegations of defamation involving her colleague, popular actress Mercy Johnson. The legal proceedings have attracted considerable attention within Nigeria's entertainment industry and among the general public.
This case represents another high-profile instance of legal entanglement involving Nigerian celebrities, raising broader questions about the intersection of entertainment, law enforcement, and judicial processes in the country. The situation continues to develop as stakeholders await Angela Okorie's actual release from custody and monitor whether Stanley Ontop's allegations about police intentions prove accurate.
