Ogala had recently expressed fears over alleged plans to keep her in detention, warning that such moves could threaten her freedom and undermine her political ambition ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

Reality TV star and comedian DeeOne confirmed her reported detention in a post shared on his X account on Wednesday.

According to DeeOne, Ogala will remain in custody until a date is fixed for her bail hearing in the ongoing legal dispute involving Pastor Chris Okafor.

“Doris Ogala has just been remanded in Ikoyi Prison till she can get a date for her bail hearing,” he wrote.

Ogala has been embroiled in a legal dispute with Pastor Okafor following her public criticism of the cleric after his pre-wedding photographs surfaced online.

The actress had claimed that she was romantically involved with the pastor and that he had promised to marry her before allegedly ending their relationship for another woman.

Meanwhile, Ogala recently criticised the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, over his comments on the performance of Abia State Governor, Alex Otti.

Suleman had spoken positively about Otti’s administration, suggesting that the governor could secure a second term without engaging in extensive campaigning.

In response, Ogala questioned the pastor’s conduct and challenged his assessment of developments in Abia State.

She also alleged that Suleman had not visited the state despite making public comments about its situation.

Nigerian gospel singer Laolu Gbenjo has cautioned the public against spreading unverified information about the circumstances surrounding the death of his colleague, Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Gbenjo’s warning comes amid growing controversy surrounding the late singer’s death and burial arrangements, with reports of disagreements among members of his family.

The gospel singer spoke on Tuesday during a night of tributes held in honour of Toluwanisings in Ibadan, Oyo State. He warned against allowing the situation to degenerate into a controversy similar to the one that followed the death of Nigerian singer Mohbad.

Describing the deceased as a devoted Christian and a genuine servant of God, Gbenjo said Toluwanisings was passionate about his faith and had a good relationship with people.

He urged the public to stop fuelling unnecessary controversy over the late singer’s death, particularly through social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.

“You can never see Toluwani in the midst of jobless people. He had a good heart. He was a friend to everybody. He served the Lord with all his heart. Don’t turn Toluwani into Mohbad. That madness on TikTok and Instagram must stop. If you are jobless, go and look for a job,” Gbenjo said.

Meanwhile, comedians Ayobami Ajewole, popularly known as Woli Agba, and Olamide Oladimeji, also known as Dele Omo Woli, have threatened legal action against individuals allegedly linking them to Toluwanisings’ death.

Woli Agba disclosed this in a public notice shared on his Instagram page on Sunday.

In the notice issued by their solicitors, Gemgold, the comedians warned members of the public against publishing or circulating allegations they described as false and defamatory against them.

The legal notice maintained that the allegations were baseless and intended to damage the reputations of the two entertainers.
