Police to probe Pastor Okafor over sex scandal allegations

The Lagos State Police Command is to probe multiple sexual allegations levelled against the Senior Pastor of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, and this follows amid growing outrage generated by the viral allegations circulating on social media in recent days.

Penpushing reports that the Commissioner of Police Olohundare Jimoh, has therefore, ordered the State Criminal Investigation Department, (SCID) Panti to commence investigation.

The Command Public Relations Officer Abimbola Adebisi, had on Friday said the police could not arrest the embattled pastor because there was no formal petition from any of the alleged victims.

Penpushing further reports that Adebisi explained that the command was not aware of any complaints against the cleric, despite the swirling allegations on social media, however, adding that following a renewed request which include text messages sent to the commissioner, said Okafor would be invited for questioning and summon the alleged victims for interviews.

The police spokesperson added that the commissioner equally ordered that witnesses be brought forward to provide statements that would assist the investigation, disclosing that on her personal initiative, she had reached out to one of the YouTubers who interviewed the alleged victims to obtain direct links to the witnesses.

Penpushing also reports that it would be recalled that the popular cleric stepped down from pastoral duties on New Year’s Day as the allegations escalated, with several women, including Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, coming forward with different narrations against him.

The clergyman had last Sunday publicly apologised to Ogala during a church service, where he knelt on the pulpit, admitted to past mistakes, and sought forgiveness, while his plight has been traced to his wedding to a new bride, identified simply as Pearl, on December 16, 2025, an event attended by prominent clerics.

Penpushing reports that the flurry of allegations against Okafor began on December 14, 2025 when actress Ogala posted several emotional videos on her Instagram page, accusing the pastor of having a sexual relationship with her, which allegedly began in 2017 and lasted for nine years.

The bittered actress emphasized that the cleric promised her marriage on several occasions before marrying another woman in December 2025, and equally alleged that the pastor contributed to the breakdown of her previous marriage and caused her emotional distress and financial loss.

Penpushing further reports that Ogala shared some bedroom photos and screenshots of conversations, alongside videos in which she claimed the pastor sent her $10,000 to retract her statements and allege that a rival pastor orchestrated the accusations.

The aggrieved lady, thereafter, demanded N1billion in damages through a legal notice filed by her lawyers, alleging threats and intimidation following her arrest and detention by the police, and as the scandal escalated, other women also came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct, manipulation, infidelity, and related issues against the pastor.
