The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted Nollywood actress Angela Okorie bail set at N5 million in a case involving alleged criminal defamation and cyberstalking.
Justice Emeka Nwite granted bail after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defense, following Okorie’s re-arraignment on a seven-count amended charge.
As earlier reported by eelive.ng, Angela Okorie was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre for an alleged cybercrime case connected to Mercy Johnson.
Filmmaker Seun Oloketuyi shared on Instagram that Angela Okorie was taken from her home in Lagos.
After her arrest, Okorie was taken to Yaba Panti and spent the night there since there were no available flights to Abuja.
Reports state that she was put on an early morning flight to Abuja, where she appeared in court for the case involving Mercy Johnson.
The court had ordered her to stay in Suleja Prison until the next hearing, when bail will be considered.
