“Still More Fragments Coming Out” – Angela Okorie
In her caption, Angela wrote:
“Last two weeks have been so hectic lovers.
It’s been one hospital or the other running some series of tests on my head and body. Haven’t been feeling too well too, so my doctor advised I should be placed on bed rest. Seriously, good health is underestimated.I went for my checkups, it was found that there are still fragments of bullet pellets on my head. As years go by, more still comes out.
But at the end, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. God is with me no doubt and may His name be praised. Amen. 🙏 #legitqueen”
A Violent 2019 Attack That Changed Her Life
Angela Okorie was ambushed in December 2019 by unknown gunmen while driving her Mercedes-Benz SUV. The assailants sprayed her vehicle with bullets, leaving her severely injured.
She later disclosed that doctors removed 10 bullet pellets from her head and two near her eyes. Following the traumatic experience, she was placed on strong medication and reported experiencing sleepless nights and flashbacks.
Living With PTSD and Ongoing Pain
In a 2023 interview, Angela revealed she has been battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since the shooting. She also suggested that figures in the entertainment industry may have been behind the attack, though no arrests have been made to date.
Despite the lasting physical and emotional impact, Angela has continued to appear in films and perform music. She remains vocal about her recovery and grateful for life.
