Founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor, has publicly responded to the serious allegations made against him by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala. The cleric, who leads the popular Liberation City church, outlined the steps he is taking and suggested that the actress has significant backing from surprising quarters.
Okafor's Response During Thanksgiving Service
Pastor Chris Okafor broke his silence on the controversy while speaking to his congregation. The address took place during a wedding thanksgiving service at his church on December 22, 2025. A video from the event has since gone viral across social media platforms.
In his speech, the spiritual leader expressed the pain of being misrepresented. He emphasized a mature approach to the situation, stating clearly that the matter is now with the appropriate authorities. "Everything you say, you must prove it in the law court," Okafor declared, challenging the need for evidence to support the claims made against him.
Allegations of Powerful Backing and Police Case
One of the most striking revelations from Pastor Okafor's address was his hint at influential support behind Doris Ogala. He told his congregation they would be "shocked by the people involved" and that he had received reports about who is behind the allegations.
The pastor confirmed that a formal case has been filed, which restricts how much he can publicly disclose. "Because the authorities are on it, I can't say much in public... I will not jeopardize court processes and investigations," he explained, underscoring the legal nature of the ongoing dispute.
Public Reaction and Social Media Firestorm
The public response to the pastor's video has been swift and divided. Comments on social media reflect a spectrum of opinions, from skepticism to support for the cleric.
Some users called for accountability, suggesting Pastor Okafor should temporarily step away from his pulpit while the scandal is investigated. Others posed direct questions about the nature of his relationship with the actress. The controversy has sparked a broader conversation about the conduct of spiritual leaders and the credibility of public allegations.
This development follows a series of Instagram videos and interviews by Doris Ogala, where she detailed her allegations against the pastor, including claims of a past romantic involvement. She was subsequently arrested, adding another layer to the complex situation. The actress has previously shared specific details, including locations in both her village and Lagos where she alleged they met.
As the case proceeds through official channels, both the entertainment and religious communities in Nigeria await further revelations. Pastor Okafor concluded his remarks by asserting his faith in the truth emerging, stating, "We are praying and following the mature way we should follow. The truth will come out."
