Police Releases Nollywood Actress, Doris Ogala Two Days After Arrest Amid Pastor Chris Okafor Controversy
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has released Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala in Lagos after re-arresting her in Abuja shortly following her bail.
Doris Ogala was brought to Lagos by a police team from the Zone 2 Command.
The incident reportedly escalated when Ogala’s lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, attempted to document the police’s actions.
Sources said that the police officers violently attacked Abubakar, seized his phones, and accompanied Ogala on a flight to Lagos.
It was gathered that a Take It Back (TIB) Movement Coordinator, Jamiu Towolawi, aka Jharmo, secured the actress’ release by getting her bailed.
Following her release, Pastor Chris Okafor of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries (also known as Grace Nation International or Liberation City) met with the actress and urged her to allow peace to prevail.
It was also gathered that Pastor Chris Okafor appealed for reconciliation and pleaded for an end to further hostilities.
“Today, a Take It Back leader, Jamiu Towolawi, aka Jharmo, arrived at the Zone 2 command to demand Ogala’s immediate release”, a source privy to the information told the newsmen.
“Dramatically, Pastor Chris Okafor who was at the centre of her arrest and controversy arrived at Onikan and pleaded with her to allow peace to reign. It was obvious her arrest was instigated to bully her and upon seeing she is refusing to back down, the pastor fell flat on his knees and begged.
“The pastor spent close to an hour in a closed-door meeting with Ms. Ogala in private. They met in a secluded space devoid of third parties. After their peace meeting, the police released her to go on ‘health grounds’, with Jharmo serving as surety.”
“The police also released the two phones seized from her lawyer, Marshal Abubakar after the actress was released in Lagos, asking that the arrest video should be deleted as they couldn’t access the phones. But the TIB coordinator rejected the condition. And the police later let Ogala leave,” the source added.
Her arrest sparked diverse reactions from Nigerians, with many online personalities including the Nigerian influencer and social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse popularly known as VeryDarkMan calling for her release.
Celebrating her release, Doris in a post on her Instagram page Monday afternoon, thanked Human Rights activist and two-time presidential candidate under African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore and VeryDarkMan for their efforts.
In the short post, she wrote “Thank you Sowore. Thanks so much to my ratel king.”
