Nollywood actress Doris Ogala was released by the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos after being arrested again in Abuja shortly after being granted bail.
A police squad from the Zone 2 Command took Ogala to Lagos.
When Ogala’s attorney, Marshal Abubakar, tried to record the police’s activities, the incident allegedly got worse.
According to sources, officers violently attacked Abubakar, seized his phones, and accompanied Ogala on a flight to Lagos.
Take It Back Movement Coordinator Jamiu Towolawi, aka Jharmo, secured the actress’s release by getting her bailed.
Following her release, Pastor Chris Okafor of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries (also known as Grace Nation Liberation City) met with the actress and urged her to allow peace to prevail. SaharaReporters learned that Okafor appealed for reconciliation and pleaded for an end to further hostilities.

“Today, a Take It Back leader, Jamiu Towolawi, aka Jharmo, arrived at the Zone 2 command to demand Ogala’s immediate release,” a source privy to the information.
“Dramatically, Pastor Chris Okafor who was at the centre of her arrest and controversy arrived at Onikan and pleaded with her to allow peace to reign. It was obvious her arrest was instigated to bully her and upon seeing she is refusing to back down, the pastor fell flat on his knees and begged.
“The pastor spent close to an hour in a closed-door meeting with Ms. Ogala in private. They met in a secluded space devoid of third parties. After their peace meeting, the police released her to go on ‘health grounds’, with Jharmo serving as surety.”
“The police also released the two phones seized from lawyer Marshal Abubakar after the actress was released in Lagos, asking that the arrest video should be deleted as they couldn’t access the phones. But the TIB coordinator rejected the condition. And the police later let Ogala leave,” the source added.
