Pastor Chris Okafor Exposes Identity of Person Who Leaked His Wedding Plan to Doris Ogala
In a dramatic revelation that has sent shockwaves through Nigeria's entertainment and religious circles, Pastor Chris Okafor has publicly identified the individual responsible for leaking his confidential remarriage plans to actress Doris Ogala. The founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry made this disclosure during a press briefing held in Lagos on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
The Leak That Sparked a Firestorm
According to Pastor Okafor, discussions about his remarriage were intended to remain strictly private, shared only with a small circle of trusted individuals involved in the planning process. However, he alleges that an event planner breached this confidentiality by leaking sensitive details of the planned ceremony to the public domain.
"What should have been a quiet, private decision suddenly became public entertainment," the televangelist lamented during the briefing. He explained that once the information surfaced online, it spread rapidly across blogs and social media platforms without his consent, creating what he described as a distorted narrative that spiraled beyond his control.
Connection to Previous Allegations
The leaked wedding details gave new life to previous accusations made against Pastor Okafor by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala. In November 2025, Ogala had publicly accused the cleric of being involved in a long-term relationship with her while failing to fulfill a promise of marriage. She also made serious allegations connecting him to the death of her brother and claims of ritual practices at his church in Ojodu, Lagos State.
Okafor expressed frustration that the leaked information allowed bloggers and influencers to revisit these claims without proper verification. "It is painful when private information is leaked, and instead of people asking questions, they start drawing conclusions," he stated. He accused some digital content creators of prioritizing website traffic over factual accuracy, noting that misinformation spreads particularly fast when personal details are involved.
Call for Digital Regulation
The pastor used the platform to call on Nigeria's National Assembly to introduce stricter laws regulating online conduct and protecting citizens from reputational damage. He emphasized that his experience exposed a wider problem in Nigeria's digital space where privacy breaches often go unpunished.
"This is not just about bloggers. People entrusted with private information must understand the weight of that responsibility," Okafor asserted. He urged cybercrime agencies to intensify efforts in tracing the sources of leaks and holding responsible parties accountable for their actions.
Legal Developments in the Case
The revelation comes against the backdrop of recent legal developments. A Lagos High Court has restrained social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse (popularly known as Verydarkman), actress Doris Ogala, and Kelvin Chimaobi Emmanuel from mentioning Pastor Okafor, his church, or ministry on any social media platform.
The injunction was granted by Justice M. A. Savage at the Ikeja division of the court on January 22, 2026, pending the determination of a substantive suit filed by Pastor Okafor. The legal action highlights the growing tension between public figures and digital content creators in Nigeria's evolving media landscape.
Broader Implications for Nigerian Society
This incident raises important questions about privacy, digital ethics, and media responsibility in Nigeria's increasingly connected society. As more personal information finds its way online, the need for clear guidelines and accountability mechanisms becomes more urgent.
Pastor Okafor's case serves as a cautionary tale about how quickly private matters can become public controversies in the digital age, particularly when combined with existing allegations and sensational reporting. The situation continues to develop as legal proceedings advance and public discourse around digital regulation intensifies.
