Popular Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has been remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre over allegations of defaming fellow actress Mercy Johnson.
An Abuja court ordered her remand on Wednesday following her arrest in connection with the case.
The development was disclosed by Nollywood filmmaker Stanley Ontop, who expressed concern over the Nigerian judicial process.
While accusing Mercy Johnson of intimidation, Stanley urged her to follow due process, noting that defamation is a civil case.
He wrote on Instagram “Free @realangelaokorie now Irrespective of who is involved. If you feel they defamed your person, kindly approach a competent court and sue the person involved. Omo when Nigeria police will even learn to do their work well?”
“So the judicial can work this fast? Tell me how you will sleep this night knowing fully well that ur colleague is in prison!!! Angela I will never forsake you”, he assured.
It was reported that Angela Okorie was arrested in Lagos late on Tuesday and flown down to Abuja on Wednesday morning.
