According to Ogala, the agent provided her with three different househelps during this period, and she only discovered the extortion in December 2025.

Doris said she became suspicious after learning that her househelp was not living on the agreed date and that she had been sleeping with an electrician given to her by her estate management in her home while she was away.

She added that the househelp suddenly insisted on leaving shortly before her arrest, which she said did not align with their agreement.

Ogala claimed that when she confronted the agent, things escalated quickly, leading to her arrest. She alleged that the agent contacted Pastor Chris Okafor's side after learning about their social media dispute.

How the arrest happened

According to Doris, men later arrived at her house to arrest her, presenting a search warrant and 'ransacking' her home. She said officers claimed they were looking for items, but only found cigarettes.

She also said she felt unwell at the time and repeatedly requested her phones, however, her requests were denied.
