Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore criticises the remand of actress Doris Ogala at Kirikiri Correctional Centre, calling it an abuse of Nigeria’s Cybercrimes Act. All reports say Ogala appears before the Federal High Court in Lagos on a three-count charge filed by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation.
The allegations, according to the prosecution, involve cyberbullying, cyberstalking and attempted extortion linked to claims that Ogala published intimate photographs of Pastor Chris Okafor on social media without his consent between September 2024 and March 2026. Prosecutors say the posts were capable of causing embarrassment, emotional distress and reputational damage, and outlets report that the remand is pending determination of bail.
Across coverage, the main difference is framing. Nigerian Eye and Vanguard describe Sowore’s condemnation and his concerns about police using the Cybercrimes Act to pursue what he presents as a private dispute, including questions about judicial impartiality.
