Angela Okorie Apologizes to Mercy Johnson and Ned Nwoko After Police Invitation
Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has publicly apologized to her colleague Mercy Johnson-Okojie and Senator Ned Nwoko, acknowledging that her past social media attacks were hurtful and regrettable. The apology follows a police invitation prompted by a petition from Johnson-Okojie, who alleged incessant cyberattacks and bullying by Okorie.
In a detailed Instagram post, Okorie reflected on recent events, admitting her emotional reactions caused unintended harm. Addressing Johnson-Okojie directly, she expressed regret and prioritized Johnson’s mental health and peace.
She also apologized to Nwoko, noting her response to what she called an “unprovoked bashing and attack” was disproportionate. Okorie wrote: “Hi beautiful people, these past days have been a period of intense reflection for me. Lately, having reminisced on certain events that had transpired, I can only thank God that I am alive. It’s no secret that there have been some difficult issues circulating on social media between Mercy Johnson and myself; Moving forward, I would like to address this matter. I am human, and when my emotions take over, I speak from the heart, often saying things directly as they come to me, especially when I felt hurt. Once I’ve expressed myself, I forget about it and move on, but I realize now that my utterances whether uttered from the place of pain or not was hurtful, some events that has happened these past days made me realize that I should have done better. I feel so sorry having realized how this gets to you, Mercy. Your mental health is very important now and ever & I wouldn’t wish you and your family worse, that’s not my nature, and you know it, Do find a place in your heart to forgive me. I’ve also been the target of lies, betrayal, and unwarranted attacks. Bloggers have spread false information, and people have created videos filled with blatant lies. The betrayal has been overwhelming, but I forgive everyone who has hurt me and leave them to face their own conscience. Furthermore, My sincere apology also goes to Senator Ned Nwoko, I understand that, my anger in trying to make a reply didn’t find you in a good state, it was as a reaction of an unprovoked bashing and attack that was blown out of proportion. I truly reacted in a way I now recognise wasn’t pleasant. I cannot intentionally disrespect you for whatever reason. To buttress this, I remember being part of your political campaign, the one you brought ZuleZoo, myself & other artists. I have also honored your family’s yearly children’s carnival when invited; All these have made me realize that being at peace is better than war or fight, I deeply regret my actions and am sorry.”
Okorie’s apology highlights her past support for Nwoko’s political campaign and family events, emphasizing her desire for peace and reconciliation in Nigeria’s entertainment and political spheres.
