Angela Okorie Finally Addresses Fans After Controversial Prison Release
Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has officially broken her silence for the first time since her release from the Suleja Correctional Centre, promising her supporters a full disclosure of the events that led to her recent detention. The actress took to her Instagram story late on Tuesday night to reassure her fans and family members following days of uncertainty surrounding her legal situation.
Actress Denies Reports of Immediate Re-Arrest by Police
Despite widespread reports and circulating videos suggesting that Angela Okorie was whisked away by Federal Capital Territory police immediately after her prison release on February 3rd, the actress has firmly denied such claims. In her social media message, she wrote: "I will speak to my fans and families tomorrow!! God bless each and every one of you who showed me love. You all are amazing. Thank you."
Controversial Allegations About Unpaid Legal Fees Surface
Close associate and fellow actress Doris Ogala has alleged that the reported police intervention was actually linked to a dispute over unpaid legal fees to a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. According to Ogala's claims, the unnamed SAN had helped secure Angela's bail in the initial cyberbullying case involving fellow actress Mercy Johnson, but outstanding payments led to further legal complications.
The actress was originally arrested on January 28th by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre in Abuja. She was reportedly picked up at her Lagos residence and later transferred to the Suleja Correctional Centre in Niger State. The arrest was connected to allegations of cybercrime and cyberbullying involving Mercy Johnson, a development that shocked many fans who have followed both actresses' careers for years.
Conflicting Accounts Create Confusion Among Supporters
Barely hours after Angela Okorie regained her freedom, multiple reports emerged suggesting the actress had been re-arrested by officers of the FCT Police Command. According to these accounts, she was picked up again and taken to the FCT Police Command headquarters over a fresh petition filed against her.
However, actor Stanley Ontop has provided contradictory information, clarifying that Angela Okorie is safe and has not been re-arrested. He explained that he had spoken directly with her and confirmed her wellbeing, urging the public to disregard reports suggesting otherwise. His reassurance was aimed at calming the growing anxiety among supporters who had followed the case closely.
Stanley Ontop stated: "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."
Background of the Cybercrime Case and Ongoing Developments
The initial arrest was linked to serious allegations of cybercrime and cyberbullying involving prominent actress Mercy Johnson. After spending several days in detention, Angela was eventually granted bail and released from custody. The case has drawn significant attention within Nigeria's entertainment industry and among the general public.
Meanwhile, in unrelated developments, Angela Okorie has previously addressed rumors about her personal life, including speculation about her relationship with an oil magnate. The mother of one has used social media platforms to engage with fans about matters of love and relationships, occasionally sharing romantic content that has sparked reactions online.
The situation remains fluid as supporters await Angela Okorie's promised full disclosure about her arrest and detention experience. The conflicting reports from various sources have created confusion, highlighting the challenges of navigating celebrity legal matters in the age of instant social media reporting.
