Court Orders Nollywood Actress Angela Okorie Remanded Over Cyberstalking and Defamation Charges

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of Nollywood actress Angela Okorie in Suleja Prison, Niger State, over cyberstalking and defamation charges. Okorie, represented by her lawyer Alex Ejesiem, pleaded not guilty to the three-count charges filed by the police.

The charges allege that she conspired with Ifeoma Mbonu to commit cyberstalking and defamation by calling fellow actress Mercy Johnson Okojie a "blood-sucking demon" on social media platforms in 2024. The prosecution argued for Okorie's remand, citing her failure to honor police invitations and previous bail conditions.

The defense requested more time to prepare for the case and objected to the remand. The court ordered the exchange of necessary documents for a formal bail application within 24 hours and scheduled a bail hearing for January 30.
