Nollywood Actress Doris Ogala Remanded for Cyberbullying

Doris Ogala, a Nollywood actress, has been ordered to be remanded at the Ikoyi correctional centre by a federal high court in Lagos pending the hearing of her bail application. She was arraigned on a four-count charge that includes publishing personal materials without consent, spreading false information, cyberbullying, and attempted extortion, filed by Chris Okafor, the founder of the Mountain of Liberty and Miracle Ministry.

Ogala pleaded not guilty to all charges during the proceedings. Prosecuting counsel Tolulope Mokolu requested her remand while he reviewed her bail application, which he had just received.

Defence counsel N. C. Atulomah opposed the remand, citing Ogala's status as a governorship candidate in Abia state.

Judge Akintayo Aluko ruled that the defence did not provide sufficient grounds for her release but ordered an accelerated hearing of the bail application, set for October 30. The proceedings became chaotic when Ogala insisted on speaking, claiming oppression by government powers.

In an Instagram post, she alleged that several prominent figures were behind her remand due to fears of her exposing secrets.
