Doris Ogala’s allegations against Akpororo
Her apology follows days of controversy started by a viral video in which she made several claims about the comedian.
In that video, Ogala alleged that Akpororo once performed at Pastor Chris Okafor’s church and was initially denied payment until she intervened.
She further accused him of being with two women and claimed that the comedian ran out of a room in his boxers. She alleged that he could not pay the women, labelling him an illiterate.
Akpororo’s response to Doris Ogala’s claims
Meanwhile, Akpororo responded to the video with laughter, dismissing her as an unserious person.
He challenged the actress to provide evidence of her claims and suggested she needed a medical evaluation due to her frequent online outbursts.
He also claimed that he had gathered materials to defend himself after being dragged into her feud with Pastor Okafor.
