The Federal High Court in Lagos has granted Nollywood actress Doris Ogala bail in the sum of N30 million over allegations of cyberstalking and other offences involving Pastor Chris Okafor.

Justice Akintayo Aluko granted the bail on Friday, November 6, 2026, with the actress required to produce two sureties, each providing a bond of the same amount.

The court also directed Ogala to surrender her international passport to the court registrar as part of the bail conditions.

Additionally, the judge restrained the actress from making social media posts or other online publications capable of exposing prosecution witnesses to harassment, threats or intimidation while the trial remains pending.

In explaining the conditions, Justice Aluko said the court had a responsibility to balance Ogala’s constitutional right to personal freedom with the need to protect witnesses and ensure her attendance throughout the trial.

The judge also expressed concern over the actress’s conduct during proceedings on October 28, 2026, when she allegedly disrupted court activities, resulting in the adjournment of 10 cases.

“By her misconduct and conduct in the open court, when she disrupted proceedings and caused a series of adjournments without any justification on the 28th of October, 2026, the defendant has exposed herself as a person capable of fomenting trouble when she is outside the courtroom,” the judge said.

Ogala, who is also the African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Abia State, is facing the charges in connection with allegations involving Pastor Chris Okafor.

The case is expected to continue as the court proceeds with the trial.
