Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has been remanded at the Suleja Correctional Facility after failing to meet the bail conditions granted to her in an ongoing cybercrime case. Reports on Tuesday confirmed that although bail was approved following her arraignment, the actress was unable to fulfil the requirements within the stipulated time.
The court reportedly set her bail at ₦5 million with one surety in like sum, subject to strict verification by the court registry. Until the conditions are fully satisfied and confirmed, Okorie is expected to remain in custody, pending further directives from the court.
The case stems from a petition filed by fellow actress Mercy Johnson Okojie, which led to an investigation by the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre. Okorie was initially arrested in Lagos before being transferred to Abuja, where she was formally charged at the Federal High Court over alleged online misconduct. Details of the charges have not been fully made public, but authorities insist that due process is being followed.
