The African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate for Abia State in the 2027 election, Doris Ogala, was granted N30 million bail by the Federal High Court in Lagos on charges of cyberstalking and other offences involving Pastor Chris Okafor.
Akintayo Aluko, a justice, issued the order setting bail at N30 million on Friday, November 6, 2026.
Two individuals are required to post equal amounts as sureties in order to post bail. The registrar of the court also needs Ogala’s foreign passport.
The court also barred the Nollywood actress from further internet activity that could place prosecution witnesses at risk of intimidation, harassment, or threats while the case is ongoing.
With these restrictions, Justice Aluko said, two things would be safeguarded. Ogala has a constitutionally guarantyd right to freedom, which is one instance. She must also ensure the safety of any witnesses and appear in court on the day of her trial.
After Ogala allegedly caused a disturbance in court on October 28, 2026, leading to the adjournment of 10 cases without a valid reason, the judge expressed his concern about her behaviour outside of the courtroom.
“By her misconduct and conduct in the open court, when she disrupted proceedings and caused a series of adjournments without any justification on the 28th of October, 2026, the defendant has exposed herself as a person capable of fomenting trouble,” the judge said.
