The viral footage quickly fuelled reports that she had been arrested over allegations of cyberbullying fellow actress Mercy Johnson.

In response to the rumours, Okorie addressed the situation during a recent Instagram live session. She firmly denied being arrested, stating that she was only invited by the police and had honoured the invitation.

“I was invited and I went there, you know what I mean…” the actress said vaguely, refusing to provide additional details or confirm whether the invitation was linked to Mercy Johnson’s alleged petition.

The actress’s brief clarification seemed aimed at easing the mounting online tension surrounding her public appearance with law enforcement officials.

She did not disclose the reason behind the invitation or the circumstances surrounding the visit, choosing instead to remain guarded in her response.

Despite her efforts to downplay the situation, speculation has persisted online. Neither Mercy Johnson nor the Nigerian Police have issued a formal statement regarding the alleged petition or any ongoing investigation involving the two actresses.

The original video, which quickly spread across Instagram and TikTok, shows Okorie walking alongside police officers, her expression unreadable as she avoided answering questions.

The footage gave rise to assumptions that she had been taken into custody.

The online community has responded with mixed reactions. While some fans supported Okorie and called for restraint, others questioned her credibility and accused her of hiding the full truth.

Instagram user @queenbee\_shellz commented, “Even if them arrest you and rough handle you, you go tell us?” Another user, @gracy275, added, “She’s so insecure without the filters… she looks really uncomfortable… covering her mouth, face and all.”

Meanwhile, @iphy\_homes\_ urged restraint in responses, stating, “You people should not even start with that ‘she’s so pretty’ comments this time.”

Online speculation aside, there is currently no public record confirming the existence of a police petition from Mercy Johnson, nor any official confirmation of charges against Angela Okorie.

Industry insiders believe that the growing trend of celebrity feuds being played out on social media may be reaching a tipping point. Allegations made online, even in jest or anger, are now increasingly attracting legal attention.

One entertainment lawyer commented anonymously, “We’re in an era where even a casual post can lead to a lawsuit. Celebrities must now be more careful with what they say online, especially about each other.”

Angela Okorie has previously had run-ins with the public over her outspoken social media presence. She is known for airing grievances without filters, which has occasionally placed her at the centre of online controversy.

Observers say that until further information is released by the police or either party, the situation remains speculative. For now, Okorie appears to be managing the narrative by asserting her voluntary cooperation with law enforcement while maintaining silence on the core allegations.

In the absence of new facts, fans and critics are left reading between the lines of carefully worded Instagram posts and cryptic video clips.
