Nollywood actress and African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate in Abia State, Doris Ogala, has accused Governor Alex Otti and three prominent pastors of being behind her remand in prison.
Ogala made the allegations in a series of posts on her Instagram page on Wednesday, October 28, claiming that the individuals she named wanted to frustrate her political ambition ahead of the 2027 Abia State governorship election.
The actress specifically accused Otti, Pastor Johnson Suleman, Pastor Jerry Eze and Pastor Chris Okafor of being responsible for her situation.
Ogala Alleges Plot to Frustrate Governorship Campaign
In one of her posts, Ogala claimed that Governor Otti supported the decision to remand her in prison. She also alleged that the individuals she mentioned were concerned about secrets she claimed to know about them.
The AAC candidate further alleged that her legal troubles were connected to an attempt to prevent her from pursuing her governorship campaign.
She wrote:
“Alex Oti is fully behind my remand as well. 1 woman, 5 men. Suleman Johnson, Jerry Eze, Chris Okafor, Alex Oti. I big pass una. They are afraid of their secret I know. All of them are responsible. Believe me. They want to stop my campaign as governor of Abia State.
“God will fight this battle. Today is Doris, tomorrow it may be you. Let’s fight against weaponization of law between boyfriend and girlfriend issue. Chris, this is all you can do. Nothing more. Suleman Johnson, Jerry Eze, una know nau. The secret I know is too heavy. That’s why.”
Background to Ogala’s Remand
Ogala’s allegations come amid her ongoing legal dispute with Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry.
The actress had previously accused the cleric of ruining her life and claimed that they had been in a relationship since 2017. The dispute became public in December 2025 following reports surrounding Okafor’s engagement to another woman.
Ogala was also reported to have been arrested and detained for two days over allegations that she shared private photographs of the pastor.
She was subsequently remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre following a court appearance after a bench warrant was issued for her appearance. According to reports, she was being held pending the scheduling of a bail hearing.
However, Ogala’s claims that Governor Otti and the three pastors were responsible for her remand, or that they were attempting to stop her political campaign, remain allegations made by the actress. The material provided does not establish that the named individuals coordinated any such action.
