Court Drama: Actress Doris Ogala Files Lawsuit Over Broken Marriage Promise
The legal corridors of Lagos are buzzing as Nollywood actress Doris Ogala Files Lawsuit against the General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries, Pastor Chris Okafor, demanding a staggering N1 billion in damages. This high stakes legal battle centers on a bitter allegation of a breach of promise to marry, a claim that has sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and the religious community. Ogala, known for her outspoken nature, asserts that the clergyman reneged on a formal commitment to wed her after a protracted and intimate relationship.
The lawsuit, filed at the High Court of Lagos State, meticulously details the timeline of their association, suggesting that the relationship was not merely casual but founded on a concrete agreement of matrimony. According to the court documents, the actress claims she devoted years to the union, providing emotional support and maintaining a public presence that aligned with the pastor’s status, only to be abandoned without a valid justification. The N1 billion demand is intended to cover the psychological trauma, loss of time, and the significant damage to her social and emotional well-being resulting from the sudden dissolution of the engagement.

Legal representatives for Ogala argue that a promise to marry is a binding contract under Nigerian law when accompanied by specific evidence of intent and reliance. The suit further alleges that the breach was handled in a manner that was both dismissive and defamatory, adding layers of injury to the original heartbreak. As the court prepares to hear the arguments, the case stands as a rare and high profile challenge against a public figure of religious authority, highlighting the intersection of private promises and public legal accountability in modern Nigerian society.
