Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has escalated her long-standing dispute with popular clergyman, Pastor Chris Okafor, by filing a ₦1 billion lawsuit, citing an alleged unfulfilled promise of marriage.
The suit, filed at a High Court, accuses the pastor of causing emotional trauma, damaging her reputation, and breaching trust in connection with their alleged relationship. Doris has repeatedly maintained that she and Pastor Okafor were involved in a serious, long-term relationship and that she was led to believe marriage was forthcoming.
In earlier public claims, the actress alleged that the relationship lasted for several years, during which she said she made significant personal sacrifices, offered support, and remained committed, only to be left behind when the pastor allegedly married someone else.
She has consistently rejected allegations of blackmail, stressing that her legal action is aimed at seeking justice for the emotional and psychological harm she claims to have suffered.
According to reports, the ₦1 billion suit includes demands for financial compensation, a public apology, and formal acknowledgment of the alleged wrongdoing.
Although full details of the court filings have not yet been disclosed, the lawsuit represents a major escalation in a dispute that has unfolded publicly across social media and traditional media platforms.
As of the time of this report, Pastor Chris Okafor has not made an official statement regarding the lawsuit. The matter is expected to draw significant public interest due to the high-profile nature of both parties and the sensitivity of the claims. A hearing date has yet to be scheduled by the court.
