Nigerian Actress, Angela Okorie Arrested Over Alleged Cybercrime Case Involving Colleague, Mercy Johnson

Angela Okorie, the popular Nollywood actress, has reportedly been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre in connection with an alleged cybercrime case involving her colleague, Mercy Johnson.

Nigerian filmmaker Seun Oloketuyi made the news known on his Instagram page.

The actress was said to have been picked up at her residence in Lagos.

After her arrest, she was taken to Yaba Panti, where she spent the night because there was no available flight to Abuja at that time.

Reports say she was later placed on an early morning flight to the Federal Capital Territory, where she is expected to appear in court in connection with the matter involving Mercy Johnson.

The development comes after years of public tension between both actresses.

Angela Okorie and Mercy Johnson have been involved in repeated online clashes, with accusations and counterclaims shared on social media platforms.

At different times, Angela had spoken about feeling hurt and reacting from emotional pain.

She once admitted that some of her past words were said out of anger and personal struggles, saying that she had reflected on her actions and expressed regret over how things played out.

Despite this, the conflict later resurfaced online.

Angela made several statements against Mercy Johnson, including spiritual and personal allegations.

The alleged cybercrime case is believed to be connected to those online exchanges, which reportedly drew the attention of law enforcement authorities.
