Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has issued a heartfelt apology to her colleague Mercy Johnson-Okojie and Senator Ned Nwoko, admitting that some of her past words and actions were hurtful and regrettable.
This comes after she was reportedly invited by the police following a petition by Mercy Johnson-Okojie over alleged repeated cyberattacks and bullying.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Okorie shared that recent events had led her to a period of deep reflection. She acknowledged that while she often reacts emotionally, she now understands that her words, though spoken from a place of pain, caused unintended harm.
Addressing Mercy Johnson directly, she expressed regret for her actions and said she values Mercy’s mental health and peace of mind above all else.
Okorie also apologized to Senator Ned Nwoko, explaining that her outburst was a reaction to what she described as “unprovoked bashing and attack,” which she admits escalated unnecessarily.

“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.
She added; “In addition, my 40th birthday is close by, and as I attain this 4th floor , I am committed to reacting to situations better with greater wisdom. Our children are growing up quickly, and we must set a better example. I also want to appreciate and apologize to everyone who has shown genuine concern. I am sorry for any words that may have caused offense, knowingly or unknowingly.
Finally, to my incredible Legit fans around the world, I express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering love, commitment, and support. Thank you for encouraging me to address this; I am not perfect and will continue to be the sweet, loving and only Legit Queen.
