Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, has made an emotional appeal to his congregation as he faces public scrutiny over allegations involving Nollywood actress Doris Ogala.
During a recent Sunday service, the cleric addressed his members from the pulpit, urging them to stand by him in what he described as a difficult period. In a video now circulating on social media, Pastor Okafor suggested that battles he once fought on behalf of his church members had now turned against him. He reminded the congregation of how he had supported them over the years, saying he often protected members by handling sensitive issues privately rather than exposing them publicly.
The pastor went on to stress the importance of grace, loyalty, and mutual support within the church community. He likened his role to that of a father and questioned whether, in a moment of perceived error, it was not the responsibility of those he had supported to also defend him.
His emotional message comes amid ongoing controversy and allegations linked to Doris Ogala, which have placed the church under intense public attention. Although Pastor Okafor did not mention the actress by name, many viewers believe his remarks were a direct response to the dispute.
Following the release of the video, Nigerians took to the comment section with strong and divided opinions. While some suggested the pastor’s message showed he might be addressing deeper issues, others accused him of emotional manipulation and gaslighting. Several commenters questioned the appropriateness of his appeal, with some calling for accountability and urging him to step aside if the allegations against him are proven true.
The clip has continued to generate heated debate online, further fueling discussions around leadership, accountability, and transparency within religious institutions.
