Nollywood actress Doris Ogala was dramatically arrested by police during a livestream on December 20, 2025, while vehemently denouncing Lagos-based Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation Liberation City, over a tumultuous seven-to-nine-year relationship that ended in heartbreak. Ogala, tearfully accusing the cleric of emotional manipulation, urging her to end her prior marriage with marriage promises, then abruptly jilting her for new bride Pearl whose wedding earlier that week she claimed was designed to taunt her threatened to release private bedroom videos if he posted more celebrations. The arrest unfolded live with online personality Daddy Freeze, as officers reportedly linked to Okafor's influence stormed in, silencing her mid-rant about past traumas including a prior detention in Owerri over a disputed $60,000 gift he allegedly seized.
Her saga erupted after Okafor's December 16 wedding, attended by figures like Matthew Ashimolowo, despite Ogala's viral posts sharing alleged intimate photos and a ₦1 billion damages demand via lawyers for reputational harm, psychological distress, and broken vows starting around 2017. Ogala recounted Okafor's threats to replace her with a younger woman, his role in her emotional instability, and defiance like posting wedding clips to exacerbate her pain, vowing his arrest or her own death in escalating videos. Prior clashes involved defamation suits where he allegedly had her held days before her brother's burial over money disputes tied to his circle.
Social media split between sympathy for Ogala's raw pain "Chris did a lot to me" and support for Pearl's "unbothered" glow, with VeryDarkMan and others dragged into the fray as fans dissected faith, fidelity, and fame in Nigeria's gossip vortex. No official police confirmation emerged, but the live drama amplified calls for accountability amid Nollywood-clergy crossovers, echoing Ogala's past arrests and her pleas for empathy given mental health struggles. As her phone went dark post-arrest, the scandal spotlights celebrity entanglements with men of God, blending tears, threats, and trending outrage across platforms.
