Nollywood actress Angela Okorie is remanded in Suleja prison pending a bail hearing after being charged with cyberstalking and defaming colleague Mercy Johnson.

The bitter feud between Nollywood stars has escalated from Instagram comments to a prison cell, as actress Angela Okorie is remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre over allegations of cyberstalking and defaming her colleague, Mercy Johnson.
In a dramatic turn of events that has shaken the Nigerian entertainment industry, a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered Okorie’s detention after she pleaded not guilty to a three-count charge. The case, brought by the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), centers on a series of explosive online posts where Okorie allegedly described Johnson as a "blood-sucking demon" and accused her of witchcraft.
The court heard that Okorie was arrested in Lagos on January 27 by detectives who then transferred her to Abuja. Her legal team, led by Alex Ejesieme (SAN), fought desperately for bail, but Justice Emeka Nwite ordered her to be held in custody until the formal bail hearing scheduled for Friday, January 30.
The remanding of a high-profile celebrity sends a chilling signal about the legal consequences of online feuds. What began as a war of words on TikTok has now morphed into a serious criminal trial with potential jail time. For Okorie, the next few nights will be spent not on a movie set, but behind the walls of Suleja, a stark reality check that fame offers no immunity against the law.
As fans and critics take sides on social media, the case is set to become a landmark reference for cyberstalking laws in Africa’s creative economy.
