Court Grants Nollywood Actress Angela Okorie 5Million Naira Bail for cyber stake colleague Mercy Johson Okojie by calling her a blood sucking demon

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday granted Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, bail in the sum of ₦5 million in an alleged criminal defamation and cyberstalking case.

Justice Emeka Nwite granted the bail after listening to arguments from both the prosecution and the defence following Okorie’s re-arraignment on a seven-count amended charge.

Recall that Justice Nwite had on Wednesday remanded Angela Okorie in Suleja Prison, Niger State, following her arraignment.

The judge issued the order while ruling on an oral bail application by Okorie’s lawyer, Alex Ejesieme (SAN), shortly after the actress pleaded not guilty to a three-count charge filed by the police.

The judge directed that Okorie, a single mother of one, be kept in custody until January 30, when a formal bail application would be heard.

Okorie, of 1 Henry Montero Street, Lekki Palm City, Ajah, Lagos, is being prosecuted on Charge No: FHC/ABJ/CR/278/2025.

The police allege that she conspired with Ifeoma Mbonu (now at large) to commit cyberstalking and defamation by calling fellow actress Mercy Johnson Okojie a “blood sucking demon” in social media posts on Instagram and TikTok.

The offences, allegedly committed in 2024, are said to violate the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc) Act, 2015.

After Okorie entered a not‑guilty plea, prosecuting lawyer Victor Okoye urged the court to remand her in prison and fix a date for the prosecution to open its case.

Okoye told the court that Okorie failed to honour police invitations and had jumped bail previously granted administratively.

“The administrative bail granted the defendant has since expired upon her arraignment,” Okoye argued.
