Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has reportedly been taken into custody by the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre, Abuja, over an alleged cybercrime case involving fellow actress Mercy Johnson.
The development was disclosed by filmmaker Seun Oloketuyi via his Instagram page, where he revealed that the actress was arrested at her Lagos residence.
According to him, logistical challenges delayed her immediate transfer to Abuja.
Seun explained that Angela Okorie was held overnight at the State Criminal Investigation Department, popularly known as Yaba Panti, due to the unavailability of a flight to Abuja at the time of her arrest. He added that she was placed on an early morning flight and has since been moved to Abuja to face legal proceedings.
“Angela Okorie was arrested yesterday at her residence in Lagos by the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre, Abuja.
“She spent the night at Yaba Panti because there was no available flight to Abuja at the time of her arrest.
“She was put on a 6am flight to Abuja this morning and is being taken there to face court proceedings connected to the cybercrime matter involving Mercy Johnson”.
