Nollywood Actress Doris Ogala Released from Police Custody
Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has been released from police custody after spending two days in detention.
Ogala regained her freedom on Monday following her arrest on Saturday over allegations involving Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation Ministry. She confirmed her release in an Instagram post, expressing gratitude to human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, as well as social media influencer VeryDarkMan, for their support. “Thank you, Sowore. Thanks so much to my ratel king,” she wrote.
The arrest followed weeks of public controversy triggered by a video showing Okafor’s engagement to another woman. Ogala had previously claimed she had been in a romantic relationship with Okafor since 2017, stating that she left her previous marriage at his insistence. She accused him of betrayal after years of intimacy and promises of marriage.
Ogala later demanded that Okafor either marry her or financially compensate her by purchasing a house. The situation escalated when images from Okafor’s white wedding and traditional marriage ceremonies surfaced online last Wednesday.
The dispute intensified further last Friday when Ogala posted, and later deleted, a photo purportedly showing Okafor in a private bedroom setting, topless with a towel wrapped around his waist.
The actress’s release comes amid widespread public attention, highlighting ongoing scrutiny and discussions surrounding celebrity relationships and personal controversies in Nigeria.
