Mercy Johnson Allegedly Involved In Angela Okorie’s Cyberbullying Arrest

Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, has reportedly been arrested following a cyberbullying complaint filed by her colleague, Mercy Johnson.

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

The development was disclosed by journalist and founder of the Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards, Seun Oloketuyi, in a post on Instagram on Wednesday.

Oloketuyi revealed that the actress was detained overnight at the Yaba (Panti) Police Station before being flown to Abuja in the early hours of Wednesday.

“Angela Okorie was arrested yesterday at her Lagos residence by the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre, Abuja,” Oloketuyi 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 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.

As of the time of filing this report, neither Angela Okorie nor Mercy Johnson has officially commented on the arrest.
