Mr Ojeogwu and Ms Rita had been separated for several years, though the reason for their split remains unclear.
The 25-year-old actress noted that her parents’ reconciliation was driven solely by their desire to see their daughter happy, with no hidden motives behind the reunion.
She wrote: “I dare question God for putting me in this situation? They are currently in Abuja. Sammy’s detainment is taking too long, but we will get him out, or rather, I will march there myself and create a storm.
