Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has confirmed that discussions are underway to resolve a high-profile dispute involving her and Pastor Chris Okafor, the spiritual head of Grace Nation Bible Ministry. This development follows Ogala’s recent arrest and detention by Lagos State Police, stemming from allegations she made against the clergyman concerning a failed marriage promise. The actress, who was released earlier this week, stated that “table talks” are ongoing as both parties seek a resolution.

The controversy escalated publicly after Ogala accused Pastor Okafor of failing to honour a commitment to marry her. These allegations led to a period of public “dragging” of the pastor by the actress, drawing significant attention within both the entertainment and religious spheres in Nigeria. The details surrounding the alleged marriage promise and its subsequent breach remain central to the ongoing dispute.

Authorities apprehended Ms. Ogala in Lagos on Saturday, following the public nature of her accusations. The arrest by the Lagos State Police command marked a significant turn in the highly publicised disagreement, prompting immediate concerns among her supporters and the wider public regarding the implications for free speech and celebrity disputes.

She spent two nights in police custody before her release on Monday afternoon. During her detention, it is alleged that Pastor Okafor appealed to her for a peaceful resolution to the matter. This plea reportedly set the stage for the current “table talks” aimed at de-escalating the conflict and finding common ground between the two public figures.

Updating the public on the current state of affairs, Ms. Ogala revealed that resolution efforts are actively progressing. She confirmed her continued presence in Lagos, indicating her commitment to seeing the discussions through to a definitive conclusion. The actress expressed a desire to understand the ultimate direction and outcome of these crucial negotiations.

Ms. Ogala articulated her personal struggle with the situation, stating her intention to seek divine guidance regarding her next steps. “I will ask God the next direction, what should I do because at the moment, I don’t know what to do,” she conveyed, highlighting her need for wisdom in navigating the complex and sensitive issues at hand.

She also hinted at possessing substantial unrevealed information, suggesting the full scope of the dispute remains largely undisclosed to the public. “I have a lot to say, I have a lot I want to reveal, I have a lot I want the world to learn from this,” Ogala stated, adding that the situation is “still bad than anyone thinks.”

However, the actress expressed a cautious approach, indicating a reluctance to cause further harm. “At the same time, I don’t want to have anyone’s blood on my hand,” she remarked, implying a careful consideration of the potential repercussions of her revelations, even as she feels compelled to share her truth.

Ogala clarified that her pre-arrest intentions to disclose information were far more extensive than what she had already shared online. She noted, “What I just said online is nothing to what I’m about to say before my arrest,” underscoring the depth of the narrative she holds and her initial resolve to make it public.

Despite the pressures and her recent detention, Ms. Ogala affirmed her unwavering determination to speak her truth. She reiterated her lack of fear concerning potential legal ramifications or further imprisonment. “I’m not afraid of anyone, I’m not afraid of going to jail. All I want is to speak my truth, and my truth I will speak,” she concluded, signaling that the public may anticipate further developments as the “table talks” progress or conclude.
