Angela Okorie Breaks Silence With Tearful Apology to Mercy Johnson

Angela Okorie Breaks Silence With Tearful Apology to Mercy Johnson — Is It Heartfelt or Court-Mandated?

Just days after walking out of Suleja Prison on bail, Nollywood star Angela Okorie dropped an emotional video apologizing to Mercy Johnson — the actress she was accused of cyberstalking. In tears, she said:
> “I’m really sorry, Mercy Johnson… please forgive me. You’re not a witch, you’re not what people are calling you. Our children may meet in the future and be best of friends.”

She retracted all past accusations, begged forgiveness from Mercy, her kids, and family — and publicly chose peace over the ongoing feud.

But here’s the twist: Angela was arrested Jan 27, arraigned Jan 29, remanded until Jan 30 when she got ₦5m bail, and only freed Feb 3 — meaning this apology came _right after_ legal pressure lifted. Some fans say it’s genuine remorse; others think it’s damage control after prison and court threats.

The video includes lines like:
> “I’m not perfect… I do not condone bullying… This is a new beginning. You are my friend, and I will never listen to gossip about you again.”

She even revealed they’d spoken privately — Mercy allegedly apologized to Angela too, and Angela accepted it — adding another layer of complexity.

So… is it real? Or court-forced?

👉 _Some argue:_
– The timing suggests strategic timing post-release.
– Legal proceedings are still pending — court could still convict her if Mercy doesn’t drop charges.
– Public apologies after arrests often serve as PR moves.

👉 _Others believe:_
– Her tears and personal pleas feel raw and sincere.
– She mentions wanting peace for her kids — a mother’s instinct, not a lawyer’s script.
– She admits she’s “not perfect” — hints at personal growth beyond legal fear.

Bottom line:
It’s hard to call it purely genuine or purely forced — maybe it’s both. Emotions are real, but timing raises eyebrows. Either way, it’s a rare moment of vulnerability in Nollywood drama.
