Court remands Angela okorie in Suleja Prison until adjourned date when bail will be discussed”.

Last year, news made rounds that Mercy, had filed a petition against Angela. According to reports, sources claim the petition stems from repeated online attacks by Okorie on Mercy, including unverified allegations in June accusing Johnson of “spiritual wrongdoing”.

Movie producer Stanley Ontop added fuel to the fire by suggesting Johnson collaborated with high-profile figures to initiate a legal crackdown.

In an Instagram live, Angela, however, set the record straight, making it known that she wasn’t arrested. The actress revealed that she was invited for questioning and went there.

For years, Angela has launched attacks on Mercy Johnson over undisclosed reasons.

Resuming her beef with her last year, Okorie, in an Instagram live, said she had forgiven the mother of four because she learnt she was seriously sick. Angela, however, advised Johnson to seek forgiveness from people she had wronged and should stop using church words that don’t represent her.

Debunking her claims via her Instagram story, Regina Daniels stated that Angela was mad as she admonished Mercy not to forgive.

In 2024, Angela had dragged Mercy Johnson, accusing her and her mother of being witches. She later went on an Instagram Live session with Mercy Johnson’s former best friend, who called her out for witchcraft and alleged that her late mother was the mastermind. The lady claimed Mercy was aware of the deaths happening in Nollywood and locked the destinies of the famous music group Style Plus and her colleagues.

Following her beef with Johnson, Angela revealed that she had unfollowed Mercy Johnson’s goddaughter, Regina Daniels and others as frustration wanted to kill them. She claimed that they sent her several arrows, but it didn’t work as she promised they would soon cry blood. She boldly told Mercy that physically and spiritually, she can’t be silenced.
