Actress Angela Okorie Remanded In Prison As Judge Adjourns Bail Application To January 30th....

Actress Angela Okorie has been remanded in Suleja Correctional Centre after her arraignment before Justice Emeka Nwite at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where she faced three counts of alleged criminal defamation and cyberstalking linked to online posts about colleague Mercy Johnson‑Okojie.

Angela who pleaded not guilty, arrived in court with her legal team, but her attempt at securing immediate freedom stalled when the judge declined to rule on her oral bail application, opting instead to reserve the matter for a later date.

The court ordered that she be kept in custody until the adjourned date, when her bail request will be formally argued and considered.

The charges, filed under the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, accuse her of conspiring with another individual said to be at large to publish defamatory content, including harsh descriptions of Mercy Johnson on social media.

Hmmm..... Was she supposed to be remanded in prison when preliminaries have not found her guilty. What about if she won the case case. What would be her compensation for the prison experience

wellmax:
Do you understand how the law works at all?

This Cyber bulling law supposed not be a criminal lay but civil because it looks like an easy tool in the hand of the highly placed to oppress the downtrodden.

Please, look beyond this Angela case...

You said nothing tangible
Why don't you counter what he said so we can learn

You wey 'understand', state your case or shut it.

People like you almost always have terrible views that actually can drag a nation backwards, she would end up being a flight risk? What happened to the seizure of international passports and other measures to curtail that? What is the gravity of this crime? Is this fair treatment or a reasonable judgement from a judge that has not been bought? What has happened to politicians accused of heavy crimes in the past? How many have been remanded until before proven guilty? History reminds us people who committed m"rder and looted billions in public funds got much softer treatments, all in the face of the "law".
When someone who has got connections or knows the shameless folks we unfortunately have in positions of power decides to oppress one who doesn't, it is always funny to see how ordinary people with no meaningful surnames who are more likely to suffer the same or worse treatment come on forums to defend such maltreatment and injustice, how senseless and embarrassing!
These are the judges we have in election tribunals, the ones presiding over cases of corruption against public officials, the ones getting houses provided by a Mad Godfather who has several million naira properties with no proven source of income.

Babatundehy:
It is okay and not shocking to see your likes gain cheap and useless popularity facelessly on a public forum by flaunting your gross lack of comprehension, and ability to think even when what was posted up was in clear simple English.
That you do think this has nothing to do with politics makes you unworthy of my engagement, if you seriously think Mercy Johnson who mostly lived low-key before her recently found spot in the political space would go this route against a colleague, then you should stop taking those doses of retardium.
You mention the constitution? I laugh, do you seriously think someone with a name and connect measuring the same as that of MJ would suffer the same outcome? Is this not Nigeria where people have even refused to appear in court or even respect court orders and with no consequences? You're not Martian, it is obvious to the blind what is at play here, continue to deny the fact that this is bullying a person by hiding under the auspices of the law, cheap judges and a very corrupt legal system, there will be people like you in the commentary when it is your turn or that of a loved one to dance.

what you don't understand you don't so lay low. obviously one of those skip law classes while in tertiary institute.

Freshandfitpod:
Na rich people fight be this, using police to bully should not be encouraged

Brendaniel:
[b]Not how the law works, this pure bullying, was Adeyanju arrested for his talks about Peter Obi? NO he was not, that is legal process, the case is still on, this is pure bullying...

They have judged her and sentenced her already before giving her the chance to prove her claims, let it be she cannot prove her claims, that's when the court can decide to arrest her and sentence her..

This is pure bullying.../b]
