Pastor Chris Okafor of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries has withdrawn the public apology he made to actress Doris Ogala and others on 28 December 2025.
Newsunplug recalls reporting that Okafor, in a viral video, knelt before his congregation to seek forgiveness for past mistakes. While admitting to imperfections, he noted that the allegations against him were false.
“To the lady called Doris Ogala. Listen, we’re not joining issues. Mistakes have been made in the past, and I tender an apology to everybody, but not everything that was said is true. Take note, everything that was said isn’t true. There are so many lies in most of the things that were said. For now, I apologise to everyone who was offended. To Doris Ogala, I’m sorry. I apologise to everyone,” he said in the old video.
In a new video that surfaced on social media on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, the cleric revealed he was under pressure from people around him when he made the apology.
He disclosed he went on his knees in the viral video to apologise to the church and fathers of faith like Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo and Bishop David Abioye, who were dragged into the issue.
” The reason I apologised was because the fathers of faith that stood by me were being dragged and I didn’t want them to be drag to it, let me reiterate clearly the statement where I said any lady that was mentioned I withdraw that there was no single apology to that person. Because I didn’t apologise for what I don’t know, do or get involved in, for somebody I didn’t know and somebody I have not met face to face. It is an error, that apology is hearby withdrawn,” he said amid cheers from his congregation.
Okafor also shared an update on his legal battle with Ogala, saying,
“The matter is before the court, my evidence has been put before the court, whoever claims to have evidence should bring it before the court.”
