Doris Ogala released from police custody after two days

Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala, has been released from police custody after spending two days in detention.

Ogala regained her freedom on Monday, having been arrested on Saturday over allegations involving the founder of Grace Nation Ministry, Chris Okafor.

The actress confirmed her release in a post shared on her Instagram page on Monday.

Her arrest had sparked widespread reactions on social media, with several Nigerians and online personalities calling for her release.

Celebrating her freedom, Ogala thanked human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, as well as VeryDarkMan, for their intervention.

In the short post, she wrote, “Thank you, Sowore. Thanks so much to my ratel king.”

Ogala’s arrest followed weeks of public controversy that began after a video of Okafor’s engagement to another woman surfaced online.

The actress subsequently alleged that she had been in a romantic relationship with the cleric since 2017, claiming she left her previous marriage at his insistence.

She accused Okafor of betrayal after years of intimacy and assurances of marriage. She later issued an ultimatum demanding that he either marry her or financially compensate her by purchasing a house.

Despite the claims, images from Okafor’s white wedding and traditional marriage ceremonies emerged online last Wednesday.

The dispute further escalated last Friday when the actress posted, and later deleted, an image purportedly showing Okafor in a private bedroom setting, topless with a towel wrapped around his waist.
