Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has reportedly been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre over an alleged cybercrime case linked to fellow actress Mercy Johnson. The development has drawn attention within entertainment and legal circles, with court proceedings expected to follow in Abuja.
Media reports say Okorie was arrested at her Lagos residence over allegations of cyberbullying and online harassment. She was held overnight at the police facility in Yaba due to flight constraints and later flown to Abuja, where investigators are handling the case under the Cybercrimes Act.
The case is believed to stem from prolonged online disputes between Okorie and Johnson, though no formal statement has been issued by police or Mercy Johnson’s representatives. Observers say the matter has shifted from social media controversy to formal legal scrutiny.
