Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has filed a ₦1 billion lawsuit against Lagos-based cleric Pastor Chris Okafor, escalating the ongoing controversy surrounding their alleged past relationship.
According to court documents and statements attributed to the actress, Ogala is seeking damages over what she described as emotional trauma, defamation, and other claims linked to events that emerged during their public fallout. The suit reportedly stems from allegations and counter-allegations that have played out on social media in recent weeks.
Ogala had previously made a series of claims concerning her relationship with the pastor, including allegations of manipulation and unfulfilled promises. The legal action marks a significant shift from social media exchanges to formal judicial proceedings.
Sources familiar with the case said the actress is asking the court to compel the cleric to pay ₦1 billion in damages and issue restraining orders against further alleged defamatory statements.
As of the time of filing this report, Pastor Chris Okafor has not publicly responded to the lawsuit, and it remains unclear whether his legal team has been formally served.
The case has continued to generate strong reactions online, with supporters and critics of both parties calling for restraint and urging that the matter be resolved through the courts rather than public commentary.
Legal analysts note that the outcome of the suit will depend largely on the evidence presented and the court’s interpretation of the claims.
