Nollywood actress Angela Okorie

Actress Angela Okorie has revealed that bullet fragments are still stuck in her head several years after she survived a gun attack.

The mother-of-one made the revelation in an Instagram post on Monday while sharing a video of herself at a hospital undergoing a head scan and other checkups.

She 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.”

Angela was attacked in December 2019 by unknown gunmen who riddled her Mercedes Benz SUV with bullets. The actress said she was shot multiple times and had 10 pellets removed from her head and two near her eyes.

She later revealed that she was placed on strong medication, including sleeping injections, due to the pain and trauma caused by the attack.

In a 2023 interview, Angela disclosed that she had been living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since the incident. She also said she suspected people in the entertainment industry were behind the attack.
