Controversial Nollywood actor Angela Okorie has been formally cleared of the defamation and cyberstalking allegations brought against her by her colleague actor Mercy Johnson and her husband after the withdrawal of the case by the Nigeria Police Force.
The matter
was struck out on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal
High Court in Abuja after police prosecutor Victor Okoye, informed the court
that he had received instructions to discontinue the seven‑count charge filed
under the Cybercrime Act, relying on Section 108 of the ACJA 2015.
Okorie’s
legal team, led by Emerie Onyemelukwe, raised no objection, paving the way for
the court to discharge her.
The case
originated from a petition by actor Mercy Johnson‑Okojie, who accused Okorie
of cyberbullying after she allegedly used demeaning expressions against her in
online posts.
Okorie was
arraigned earlier in the year and granted ₦5 million bail, while her co‑accused,
Ifeoma Mbonu, reportedly remains at large.
