Pastor Chris Okafor Surrenders To Police Over Misconduct Allegations
The Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, has reportedly turned himself in to the police amid serious allegations of misconduct and related offences.
The Lagos State Police Command confirmed that Okafor voluntarily reported to authorities after failing to honour an earlier police invitation scheduled for Monday. He had been formally notified on Sunday by the State Criminal Investigation Department at Panti.
Speaking to TVC on Wednesday, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, explained that the pastor had initially indicated through his lawyer that he would appear on Monday but did not show up, prompting police action.
“When he was invited, he got to us through his lawyer that he would be appearing on Monday. So, on Monday, we waited for him. We didn’t see him, and I directed that he should be arrested. Subsequently, he showed up yesterday.”
Jimoh further disclosed that the case has now been transferred to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Sylvester Alabi, for further investigation.
“We later learned that the same matter had been opened at the Zone 2 headquarters with the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, which I verified. He informed me the investigation had been ongoing under his command for about three weeks.”
