During a podcast hosted by Iyabo Ojo, the Nollywood actress opened up about her struggles, suggesting that the attempt on her life might have been sponsored by someone within the movie industry.
Angela Okorie recounted, “I went through hell. We were actually coming from a show when we were attacked by gunmen. It was very traumatizing. For three good years, it was hard for me to have a relationship or do anything.
“I had PTSD. And then I developed insomnia, shock disorder, and all that. I had to always move around with security. It’s so embarrassing because there are some places you want to go to that you don’t need security, but because I was traumatized, I don’t know who was about to shoot me again. So I had to.
“It was an assassination attack sponsored by someone in the movie industry. It’s from the industry because we were coming from a show.”
