Nollywood actress Angela Okorie appears to be one character who could attempt anything celebrities do to make headlines or trend. But for one to allege that the beautiful actress staged her attack and injury, which she had described in a post shortly after the incident as an assassination attempt, was like a whole new twist to her near-death encounter. It was widely believed that the attack was carried out by assassins. Well, Angela has taken to her Instagram page to weep and complain of how difficult life has been for her lately.

Okorie, a graduate of public administration from Lagos State University (LASU), shared a video on her Instagram page saying she could no longer sleep without pills after the assassins attacked her on December 12, 2019. The actress took to her Instagram page on Tuesday, February 3, 2020, where she shared a video of herself crying and expressing all that she has been going through since she narrowly escaped death. She revealed that she had been facing tough times recently.

According to her, taking drugs and injections have become part of her lifestyle. She thanked God for sparing her life as she seemed to sound depressed in the video, leaving her concerned fans to take to the comment section, advising her that all would be well. The actress who once described herself as “unpredictable” wrote: “Life is deep you know???? Have u ever gotten to a point in your life and it seems all hope is gone; just only you and your God.
