Senior Pastor Chris Okafor has broken his silence following a viral scandal involving social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM), who recently released audio recordings featuring a woman claiming to be the pastor’s daughter. The recordings contained “heavy accusations” against the cleric, sparking a firestorm of online debate.
During a recent church service, Okafor refrained from addressing the specific details of the audio but instead categorized the controversy as a calculated spiritual war against the clergy.
Okafor warned his congregation that criticisms of religious leaders are rarely just personal; he argued they are designed to dismantle the spiritual support system of the members themselves.
“When you see a person attacking a man of God, that person is not just a human being, that person is a demon on assignment. When you strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter. It is not just about the shepherd. It is also about the people that the shepherd carries,” Okafor stated.
