She said “an assassination attack left ten bullets in my head”. She also made it known that she is only alive because God came to her rescue.
She said “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.” Okorie said good health is really underestimated, as she has now been placed on bed rest by her doctor.
“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,” she said.
“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.” she stated this as a sign of her strength and belief that God is continually with her.
In 2019, the news of the attack came as a shock to a lot, her fans included. To the surprise of many, she survived the attack, which she describes as an attempt on her life, as the gunmen left her for dead.
“The assassins kept on shooting for 30 minutes. No help from anywhere. No human came to our rescue. Only God came,” she said at the time.
To further vindicate the seriousness of the assault, in 2021, the actress came out to mention that bullets were still coming out of her skull, and as of 2025, she is still having bullet remains in her head.
Fans and well-wishers have taken to her comment section to pray for her well-being and quick recovery.
