Doris Ogala Remanded for Alleged Cyberstalking of Pastor

On October 28, 2026, the Federal High Court in Lagos remanded actress Doris Ogala at Kirikiri Correctional Centre pending the hearing of her bail application. Ogala faces charges of cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and attempted extortion of Pastor Chris Okafor, to which she pleaded not guilty.

Justice Akintayo Aluko ordered her remand after the prosecution, led by Tolulope Mokolu, presented allegations that Ogala published intimate photographs of Okafor on social media without his consent, causing him embarrassment and reputational damage. The prosecution also accused her of disseminating false electronic messages and threatening to publish further damaging material unless compensated or given a house.

These actions allegedly contravene the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Amendment Act, 2024. The case was adjourned until October 30, 2026, for the bail application hearing, with the judge noting that the defense had not provided sufficient grounds for Ogala's release.
