Nollywood actor and producer Stanley Ontop has raised fresh concerns over the safety of actress Angela Okorie, following reports of an alleged plan to re-arrest her immediately after her release from Suleja Prison.
Angela Okorie was arrested last week and remanded in Suleja Prison over allegations of defamation involving fellow actress Mercy Johnson.
The Federal High Court in Abuja granted her bail on Friday, January 30.

However, days after the bail ruling, the actress is still behind bars, a development that has left fans confused and worried.
Providing an update on his Instagram page on Monday, February 3, Stanley Ontop explained that the delay in Angela’s release was due to the late verification of her surety’s residential address.
According to him, the court has now signed off on her release, clearing the final hurdle keeping her in custody.
Stanley wrote:
“Angela Okorie will be out in few minutes. There was a delay in the verification of her surety’s residential address yesterday. But the court has signed for her release now.”
Stanley claimed that new information had reached him, suggesting a fresh petition had been filed against the actress.
He alleged that police officers were already stationed outside Suleja Prison, waiting to apprehend Angela the moment she stepped out.
“We got an info that there’s a fresh petition against Angela Okorie and that some policemen are stationed in front of Suleja Prison to apprehend her again immediately she’s released,” he alleged.
In a strongly worded message, Stanley questioned the conduct of the Nigerian Police, accusing them of abandoning professionalism and due process.
He asked:
“@nigeriapoliceforce na like this una take dey work? What happened to invitation? Why are you people arresting citizens you are meant to protect?”
