Mercy Johnson finally acts as Angela Okorie faces cybercrime charges

Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has reportedly been arrested following allegations of cyberbullying involving her colleague, Mercy Johnson.

According to reports, Okorie was arrested at her residence in Lagos on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre, Abuja.

She was said to have spent the night at the Yaba (Panti) Police Station before being flown to Abuja early Wednesday to face further legal proceedings.

The development was disclosed by journalist and BON Awards founder, Seun Oloketuyi, who shared details of the arrest on his Instagram page. Oloketuyi stated that Okorie was placed on a 6am flight to Abuja in connection with an ongoing cybercrime matter allegedly linked to Mercy Johnson.

“Angela Okorie was arrested yesterday at her Lagos residence by the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre, Abuja,” he wrote. “She was put on a 6am flight to Abuja this morning to face court proceedings connected to a cybercrime matter involving Mercy Johnson.”

The reported arrest comes barely a week after Mercy Johnson publicly warned that cyberbullying directed at her and her family would no longer be tolerated in 2026. At the time, the actress had lamented the impact of online harassment on her family, particularly her children.
