The management of Angela Okorie wishes to provide clarification regarding recent reports surrounding her arrest by operatives of the Nigerian Police Force – NCCC at her residence in Lagos on Tuesday, 27 January 2026, at approximately 5:00 PM.
The arrest followed a dispute involving fellow industry colleague & actress Mercy Johnson. During the operation, the cell phones of household occupants were seized , and her domestic staffs were subjected to stressful circumstances while the operation, which lasted approximately three hours, was carried out.
In the early hours of Wednesday, 28 January 2026, at about 6:00 AM, Angela Okorie was transferred from Lagos to Abuja for arraignment before the Federal High Court.
It should be noted that Angela Okorie and Mercy Johnson have had prior disagreements. However, both parties mutually agreed to refrain from making negative statements about each other, and Angela Okorie has fully honored this agreement, including issuing a public apology in line with the arrangement.
Angela Okorie has not engaged in cyberbullying, harassment, or defamation of Mercy Johnson, either online or offline, directly or indirectly. She has never made public or private statements intended to harm Mercy Johnson’s reputation, and allegations of cyberbullying are therefore firmly disputed.
On 28 January 2026, Angela Okorie was arraigned before a court, which ordered that she be remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre pending the hearing of a formal bail application scheduled for Friday, 30 January 2026. This remand is procedural and does not amount to a conviction.
Angela Okorie is cooperating fully with the authorities, remains in good health, and has access to her legal team. She maintains her innocence and is confident that the judicial process will establish the facts.
We urge the public, fans, bloggers, and media outlets to respect due process, avoid speculation, and refrain from spreading unverified or misleading information. All further updates will be communicated through official and verified channels only.
Angela Okorie sincerely appreciates the concern, prayers, and continued support from her fans and well-wishers during this period.
