Nollywood Actress and Singer, Angela Okorie, has been sent to prison over a case of alleged cyber bullying of her colleague, Mercy Johnson-Okojie.
According to information, she was remanded at Suleja Correctional Centre in Niger State after appearing before an Abuja court.
A filmmaker, Ajemba Stanley, made this known in a series of posts on social media on Thursday.
Okorie was reportedly arrested in Lagos on Tuesday by operatives of Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre, and taken to Abuja on Wednesday morning.
She was immediately arraigned on arrival in Abuja.
Stanley said in a post on Instagram: “You arrested Angela Okorie at midnight Tuesday, flew her to Abuja as early as 6am, and Wednesday morning took her to court, where she was remanded in Suleja prison.
“So the judiciary can work this fast?
“Tell me how you will sleep tonight knowing full well that your colleague is in prison.
“Let’s learn to stop abusing power.”
In another post, still on Instagram, Stanley said: “Whoever is in charge of Angela Okorie’s arrest should let her go and approach a competent court.
“If you feel Angela has defamed you, the right thing is to sue her, not use the police to oppress Nigerians.”
