Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has publicly apologized to her colleague Mercy Johnson-Okojie and Senator Ned Nwoko following a recent series of events that led to emotional reflection and a police invitation.
This development follows a reported petition by Mercy Johnson accusing Angela of consistent cyberbullying and harassment. According to reports, the petition resulted in an official police invitation for Okorie to address the allegations against her.
In response, Angela Okorie took to Instagram with a detailed post, where she expressed deep regret over her past conduct. She admitted that some of her words and actions—though triggered by emotional pain—had unintended consequences that she now fully recognizes.
In her lengthy note, Angela explained that she is naturally outspoken, often responding with raw emotion when hurt. However, recent events—including the petition—forced her to pause and reassess her behavior. She acknowledged that her statements, although honest to her feelings at the time, were harmful to others, particularly Mercy Johnson.
Addressing Mercy directly, Okorie emphasized her remorse and the importance of Mercy's mental health and peace. She pleaded for forgiveness and clarified that she never intended to cause harm to her colleague or her family.
Angela’s apology extended to Senator Ned Nwoko as well. She admitted that her reaction toward him stemmed from anger and felt magnified due to online controversies. She noted that her outburst was misdirected and not a true reflection of her respect for the senator.
Angela recalled her past positive experiences with Ned Nwoko, including participating in his political campaigns and family events. She used these memories to highlight her intention for peace and expressed a strong desire to move forward without conflict.
Below is Angela Okorie’s full apology:
Angela’s apology to Ned Nwoko, Mercy Johnson
“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.”
