Angela Okorie Apologizes to Mercy Johnson After Release From Detention

Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has issued a public apology to fellow star Mercy Johnson after being released on bail from detention following her arrest in January 2026 for cyberbullying. Okorie expressed regret for her past actions and explained that she wanted peace and to move forward without conflict.

She admitted that gossip and unfounded rumors had caused misunderstandings in the industry. Okorie specifically mentioned withdrawing damaging accusations, especially the hurtful label of calling Mercy Johnson a witch, which she described as baseless and harmful.

She emphasized that such words could affect Mercy's family, especially her children, who often suffer from bullying when celebrities feud publicly. Okorie highlighted the importance of setting an example of reconciliation rather than rivalry, stating that she did not want her own child or Mercy's children to face bullying.

Additionally, content creator Eddie Bliss also publicly apologized to Okorie's family for reposting unverified information that caused distress to Mercy Johnson's family. Despite the harm caused, Mercy Johnson dropped the charges against Bliss.

The incidents underscore the need for responsible behavior and reconciliation in the entertainment industry.
