Popular Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie has disclosed that she suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after she survived an attempt on her life 4 years ago.
In 2019, the thespian took to her Instagram page to announce that she narrowly escaped an assassination attempt, saying, “10 bullets were removed from my head and 2 bullets close to my eyes” after the attack.
Speaking in a recent podcast interview hosted by her colleague, Iyabo Ojo, Okorie said she battled with insomnia and acute stress disorder for over three years after the incident.

She went on to say she was constantly under security surveillance and further alleged that someone in the Nigerian movie industry sponsored the assassination attack.
Talking about the incident during the chat, Angela said: “I went through hell. We were actually coming from a show when we were attacked by gunmen. It was very traumatising. 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 traumatised, 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.”
