Nigerian actress, Angela Okorie, has tendered a public apology to her colleague, Mercy Johnson, following the cyberstalking incident that led to her arrest and detention.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, Okorie revealed that misinformation and rumours were the reason she did what she did, noting she has since made peace with Johnson, who accepted her apology.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that Okorie was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) Cybercrime Centre in Abuja at her Lagos residence and later released from Suleja Correctional Centre in Niger State.
Okorie described Johnson as a kind person, contrary to rumours, and expressed her desire to focus on her business and move away from drama.
“I want to say a big thank you to all my fans around the world. I don’t know what I have done for you guys to show me this massive love.
