LAGOS, Nigeria — Popular Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has raised alarm over the presence of armed police officers at her Lagos residence early Tuesday morning, claiming she was not invited and fears for her safety.
In a video shared on social media, Ogala described how officers surrounded her home, alleging that the deployment was orchestrated by Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation International Ministry. She accused the clergyman of attempting to arrest and imprison her without her legal representative present.
“I have police people in my house. I don’t know how they entered my house. They said they’re from Lagos. Chris doesn’t want to leave me alone. He has carried me to three different courts and more than seven police stations,” Ogala stated.
She further warned the public to hold Pastor Okafor responsible if she goes missing, describing the situation as part of a prolonged legal and personal conflict.
The dispute between Ogala and Pastor Okafor dates back to late 2024, when a video of Okafor’s engagement to Pearl Okafor went viral. Ogala publicly accused the pastor of ending their years-long relationship to marry a younger woman. Okafor did not deny the allegations but reportedly paid Ogala $10,000 in settlement.
Authorities have not yet commented on the incident or confirmed the officers’ deployment. The case has drawn public attention amid growing concerns over the intersection of celebrity, religion, and law enforcement in Nigeria.
