Controversial Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has opened up on a deeply emotional experience that has left social media in shock, revealing how she was arrested by police while breastfeeding her newborn baby boy.
The actress, who recently made headlines after reconciling with her ex-husband at a burial ceremony, accused popular cleric Pastor Chris Okafor of allegedly using the police to harass her amid their ongoing feud.
“They Didn’t Care I Had Just Given Birth”
Speaking emotionally, Doris Ogala disclosed that she was arrested barely one month after giving birth, a period she said should have been treated with compassion and understanding.
According to her, police officers stormed her residence and arrested her without considering that she was still nursing her baby.
“They came to my house and took me away. I was separated from my baby. My sister had to buy milk for him,” she said.
The actress lamented that her son, who was still dependent on breast milk, was forced to drink formula due to her sudden detention.
Arrest Happened During a Livestream
Recall that Doris Ogala was arrested on December 20, 2025, while she was actively participating in a livestream interview.
Midway into the session, she reportedly noticed the presence of police officers and confirmed live on camera that they had come for her, a moment that quickly went viral online.
