Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has been remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre following her arraignment over alleged cyber-related offences.
Okorie was arrested in Lagos on Tuesday by operatives of the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department and subsequently transferred to Abuja.
Confirming the development on Wednesday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, told TheCable Lifestyle that the actress is currently in the custody of the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), Abuja.
Filmmaker Ajemba Stanley also confirmed that Okorie was arraigned in court on Wednesday and remanded thereafter.
In a series of posts on social media, Stanley criticised the speed of the process, describing it as an abuse of power.
“You arrested Angela Okorie at midnight, flew her to Abuja as early as 6am, and this morning took her to court, where she was remanded in Suleja prison,” he wrote.
He questioned the handling of the case and vowed to travel to Abuja to ensure her release, urging authorities to follow due process.
“If anyone believes Angela defamed them, the proper step is to approach a competent court, not to use the police to oppress Nigerians,” he said, adding that human rights groups were monitoring the situation.

As of the time of filing this report, the police had not issued an official statement detailing the specific charges against the actress.
However, industry sources suggested that the case may be linked to Okorie’s long-running public feud with fellow Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson.
The dispute intensified last year after Okorie made controversial claims about Johnson’s health and accused her of hypocrisy, comments that triggered widespread backlash on social media.
Further details on the allegations and court proceedings are awaited.
