From Celebration to Plea:  Doris Ogala pleads with Mercy Johnson over Angela Okorie’s arrest

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has taken a dramatic turn in the ongoing controversy involving her colleagues Mercy Johnson and Angela Okorie, publicly appealing to Johnson for forgiveness following reports of Okorie’s arrest. Ogala’s plea comes days after she had initially celebrated the alleged arrest, a move that drew significant attention on social media.

The controversy began after reports surfaced online claiming that Angela Okorie had been arrested in connection with a cyberbullying case involving Mercy Johnson. Filmmaker Seun Oloketuyi disclosed that Okorie was reportedly taken from her Lagos residence on Tuesday and transported to Abuja for questioning over the allegations.

Subsequent reports alleged that Okorie appeared in court and was remanded in prison, escalating the matter beyond what many, including Ogala, initially expected. In a new social media post, Ogala admitted that she believed the issue would be limited to police involvement and did not anticipate it progressing to incarceration.

Reacting to the development, Ogala made an emotional appeal to Mercy Johnson, urging her to temper justice with mercy. She pleaded on Okorie’s behalf, stating that the situation had gone further than she imagined and calling for forgiveness amid the escalating legal battle.

In her heartfelt plea to Mercy, Doris claimed Angela also hurt her. “Mercy, my beautiful bestie. I know Angela really hurt you. She hurt me too. Honestly, I didn’t know it would lead to prison.

”Please forgive her. I thought it was going to be a police station matter. I beg you in the name of God. Please forgive and forget,” she said. “Mercy, my love. My beautiful black beauty. Please temper justice with mercy. Forgive Angela,” she wrote in a caption.

The unfolding drama has continued to spark intense reactions online, with fans and industry observers divided over the dispute. As details surrounding the case remain the subject of public debate, the episode has once again highlighted the deep rifts and high-profile conflicts that occasionally spill into the public sphere within Nollywood.
