Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has publicly thanked her fans for their support following her release from prison. In an Instagram story, she expressed gratitude to those who stood by her during her legal ordeal and indicated she would address her followers more fully soon. Okorie was arrested last month in Lagos and remanded to the Suleja Correctional Centre over alleged cyber-related offenses linked to her public feud with colleague Mercy Johnson. She was later granted bail by a Federal High Court in Abuja. Her management has confirmed she is currently free and not re-arrested.
