Doris Ogala Condemns Tonto Dikeh's School Deliverance Session
Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has launched a scathing public criticism against fellow actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh, following a controversial deliverance session conducted at a Nigerian school. The incident, which occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, during an evangelism visit, has sparked widespread debate and mixed reactions on social media.
Incident Details and Tonto Dikeh's Explanation
According to reports, Tonto Dikeh and her team visited the school for evangelism purposes. As they were preparing to leave, Dikeh claimed to sense what she described as a spirit of death in the environment, leading to an impromptu prayer session involving students. She later explained that the prayers confronted this spirit, broke demonic attacks, and resulted in the deliverance of one student, a girl who had earlier given her life to Christ. Dikeh added that her team would continue to follow up with the student to provide ongoing support.
Doris Ogala's Furious Reaction
In a video shared on Instagram, Doris Ogala expressed strong disapproval of the act, labeling it as inappropriate for a school setting. Ogala accused Dikeh of treating students as subjects for experiments and questioned the ethics of recording the session on camera. "This is pure blasphemy. How on earth is this woman, of all places, looking for where to go to, is school, to go and carry students to do experiment, set camera, and start delivering the students," she stated angrily.
Ogala further challenged Dikeh by asking how she would feel if someone performed a similar act on her own son without consent. "How will she even think of doing this? If someone does that to her son, will she like that?" she demanded, emphasizing the need for parental approval in such matters.
Call for Investigation and School Accountability
Ogala has called on the Nigerian police and the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) to investigate the incident thoroughly. "Nigerian police, it’s high time you guys start stopping. I’m calling on the Nigerian police to look into this thing. Where is NAPTIP? Who are the people in charge of children?" she urged in her video.
Additionally, Ogala raised concerns about the role of school authorities, questioning where teachers and principals were during the deliverance session. This highlights broader issues of child protection and institutional responsibility in educational environments.
Social Media Reactions and Public Opinion
Social media users have expressed diverse opinions on the matter. Many agreed with Ogala, arguing that schools should not be used as grounds for prayer and deliverance without explicit parental consent. One user commented, "I honestly don't like this. Go there and have an intellectual debate with these children on the concept of right and wrong, teach them morals and decency. Teach mindset shift, and self-development—those things schools don't teach. Please don't turn school into a prayer and deliverance ground. We have enough churches and church programs already."
Another user supported Ogala's stance, stating, "She's right…. Know where to practice your religion, don't use someone else child as apparatus!!!" This reflects a growing sentiment that religious activities in schools should be conducted with caution and respect for parental rights.
Background of Allegations Between the Actresses
This is not the first time Doris Ogala has made allegations against Tonto Dikeh. Previously, Ogala claimed that Dikeh blackmailed Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, the General Overseer of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), over a recorded bedroom affair. Ogala alleged that she was the intermediary who delivered N10 million from Pastor Fatoyinbo to Dikeh to keep the matter quiet. These past accusations add a layer of personal conflict to the current controversy.
The ongoing feud between the two actresses continues to capture public attention, with this latest incident raising important questions about ethics, child safety, and the boundaries of religious expression in educational settings. As the debate unfolds, calls for official investigation and clearer guidelines on such activities in schools are likely to intensify.
