Nollywood Actress Doris Ogala Released from Police Custody Amid Chris Okafor Controversy

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has been released from police custody after spending two days in detention, following her arrest over allegations involving Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation Ministry.

Her arrest followed weeks of public controversy after a video circulated showing Okafor’s engagement to another woman. Doris Ogala had earlier claimed she had been in a romantic relationship with the cleric since 2017, stating that she left her previous marriage at his insistence and alleging betrayal after years of intimacy and assurances of marriage.

The actress had issued an ultimatum demanding that Okafor either marry her or financially compensate her with a house. Despite her claims, images from Okafor’s white wedding and traditional marriage ceremonies surfaced online last Wednesday.

The dispute escalated further last Friday when Ogala shared, and later deleted, an image allegedly showing Okafor in a private bedroom setting, topless with a towel wrapped around his waist, intensifying public attention on the controversy.
