The Digest:
The planned arraignment of Nollywood actress Doris Ogala before a Federal High Court in Lagos was stalled on Thursday due to her absence. Ogala faces a four-count charge bordering on alleged cyberstalking of Pastor Chris Okafor, including publishing personal materials without consent, cyberbullying, and attempted extortion. Her counsel said she underwent surgery on April 21 and is recuperating in Abia State. The court declined to issue a bench warrant but ordered a verifiable medical report from a government hospital.
Key Points:
- The prosecution had applied for a bench warrant due to Ogala's absence.
- The defence claimed she was indisposed after surgery.
- The prosecution questioned the authenticity of the medical report.
- The court adjourned the case to June 9, 2026, for arraignment.
- Ogala faces allegations of publishing false accusations against the cleric.
The actress must present a government hospital medical report before her next court appearance.
