Angela Okorie re-arrested over alleged refusal to pay lawyer who secured her bail

Nigerian actress, Angela Okorie, has reportedly been re-arrested for allegedly refusing to pay the lawyer who secured her bail from Suleja prison.

Angela was re-arrested at Suleja prison on Tuesday and released on bail.

DAILY POST reports that this came less than an hour after actor Stanley Ontop raised the alarm over an alleged plan to re-arrest the actress after release on Tuesday.

Speaking in a video on Instagram, actress Doris Ogala, who said she is already on her way to the police station, stated that the actress was re-arrested by an unnamed Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, for refusing to pay the N5 million agreed fee to secure her bail.

Doris said, “You see, one thing is for someone to cut their clothes according to their size. Angela has been arrested again. As a matter of fact, I’m going to the police station now. You see, when Angela was arrested by Mercy, she called a friend of hers or a village person. I don’t know how they relate. To help her get a SAN.

“And the SAN charged them N5 million. I think the SAN was the one who even facilitated the bail and all that. Now, when Angela knew that they had granted her bail, according to the lady, Angela started saying that she didn’t ask her to get a SAN, and she wasn’t going to pay the money, and meanwhile, this lady has deposited.”
