Nollywood Actress, Angela Okorie Rearrested After Release From Prison

Officers of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have rearrested Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, shortly after her release from the Suleja Correctional Centre.

Naija News reports that the rearrest comes a few hours after Nollywood actor, Stanley Ontop, raised the alarm over an alleged plan to rearrest Angela after her release from prison.

In a video shared on Instagram, actress Doris Ogala said Angela was immediately rearrested on Tuesday for allegedly refusing to pay the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) who secured her bail from Suleja prison.

Doris, who said she is already on her way to the police station, said, “You see, one thing is for someone to cut their clothes according to their size. Angela has been arrested again. As a matter of fact, I’m going to the police station now. You see, when Angela was arrested by Mercy, she called a friend of her or village person. I don’t know how they relate. To help her get a SAN.

“And the SAN charged them N5 million. I think the SAN was the one who even facilitated the bail and all that. Now when Angela knew that they have granted her bail according to the lady, Angela started saying that she didn’t ask her to get a SAN and she wasn’t going to pay the money, and meanwhile this lady has deposited.”

Recall that on January 26, Angela was arrested in Lagos and flown to Abuja, where she was arraigned before the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Cyberstalking and Cyberb$llying charges.

The actress was charged following a petition written against her by her colleague, Mercy Johnson Okojie.
