Pastor Chris Okafor Reverses His Apology to Doris Ogala and Others

Pastor Chris Okafor, the leader of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, has officially revoked his apology to actress Doris Ogala and other women he previously claimed to have wronged.

In December of the previous year, just prior to Okafor’s marriage, Ogala experienced a public breakdown, alleging that he had used and subsequently abandoned her. Additional allegations followed, prompting Okafor's public apology to Ogala and others before the end of 2025, alongside a temporary resignation from his ministerial responsibilities.

After a brief hiatus, Okafor made a triumphant return to his church, where he received a warm reception from his congregation. However, he has now publicly rescinded his earlier apology.

During a video presentation at one of his church services, Okafor indicated that his apology had been misinterpreted. He disclosed that he felt compelled to apologize due to significant pressure from prominent religious figures in his circle, including Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo of Kingsway International Christian Centre and Bishop David Abioye of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, among others.

Okafor stated, "The reason I apologized previously was because the faith leaders who supported me were facing backlash. I did not want them to be dragged into this matter. Let me be clear: I withdraw the apology directed at anyone mentioned, as I will not apologize for something I have neither done nor am involved in."

He further elaborated, saying, "I cannot apologize to someone I’ve never met in person. Thus, this apology is entirely retracted. Initially, I was misled by those I considered friends, who suggested I should simply express regret. But how can one accept culpability without having committed an offense?"

Okafor reflected on his motivations for apologizing, acknowledging that at times it seems strategic to concede in order to win larger battles.

"I questioned why I was being pressured to apologize for actions I did not commit. My willingness to apologize was misconstrued. I aimed to protect the reputations of those honorable figures associated with me," he noted, adding that the accusations have broader implications outside of social media discourse.

He emphasized that his apology was meant for his congregation and was not an admission of guilt towards any individual he mentioned with disdain. He defended that there was nothing truthful about the allegations against him and confirmed that he could not apologize regarding matters currently pending in court.

"I affirm that there is no apology in this situation. Anyone who thinks otherwise should consider it nullified. I cannot apologize for what I have not done. There’s evidence presented for the court, and anyone claiming to possess relevant evidence is welcome to present it before the court," he asserted.

Okafor concluded by reiterating, "I want everyone to understand my position. The matter is pending in court, and we await a decision from the judiciary to determine the facts and discern who is truthful," he remarked.
