Police operatives have arrested actress Angela Okorie in Lagos. The officers stormed her residence on January 27, 2026.
This arrest links to an alleged cybercrime complaint involving Mercy Johnson. Sources say the Cybercrime Centre led the operation.
Detention details and transfer
Detectives took the actress to the State Criminal Investigation Department. This facility is located at Panti, Yaba.
She remained in custody there throughout the night. Reports indicate she missed a flight to Abuja immediately after the arrest. There were no available planes at that specific time.
Officers flew her to the federal capital early on January 28, 2026. She will likely face court proceedings in Abuja today.
Background of the feud
This legal step follows months of online tension. The actress has faced backlash from colleagues recently.
For instance, Regina Daniels slammed Angela Okorie over comments regarding Mercy Johnson’s health last year.
The dispute seemed to calm down briefly. Okorie attempted to fix the damage publicly.
Records show that Angela Okorie bowed to pressure and apologised to Mercy Johnson in July 2025. However, this new arrest suggests the legal battle is far from over.
