Wale busari02 mins

Justice Akintunde Savage of the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, has restrained social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), actress Doris Ogala, and Kelvin Chimaobi Emmanuel from making any references to Dr. Chris Okafor, his ministry, or church on any platform until the resolution of a pending lawsuit. The suit, filed by Dr. Okafor and marked ID/14399GCMW/2026, lists Ogala, VeryDarkMan, and Emmanuel as the first to third defendants. The ex parte application was brought under Order 43, Rules 1, 2, and 7 of the High Court of Lagos State (Civil Procedure) Rules 2019, as well as the court’s inherent powers. In his ruling, Justice Savage ordered the defendants and their associates to stop publishing or circulating any private materials related to the claimant, including chats, text messages, images, pictures, or videos. The court directed that the defendants must not mention Dr. Chris Okafor’s name, images, videos, or the name of his church, Grace Nation International (also known as Liberation City), in any form—written or spoken—on social media or other media outlets. They were further barred from releasing any content allegedly intended to blackmail or extort money from Dr. Okafor. Justice Savage also allowed for substituted service of the claimant’s legal documents, including the writ of summons, witness list, and statements on oath, through publication in a national newspaper. The matter has been adjourned to February 2, 2026, for hearing.

Pastor Chris Okafor Warns Doris Ogala and VDM to Submit Evidence to Police or Face Criminal Charges

Wale busari03 mins

Pastor Chris Okafor’s legal team has directed a firm warning to Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, social media influencer VeryDarkMan (VDM), and several bloggers, urging them to submit proof of their allegations to the Nigerian Police or risk criminal prosecution. Speaking in Lagos, Ife Ajayi, Lead Partner at Sovereignty LP, described the accusations against Pastor Okafor as “false, malicious, and part of a coordinated campaign of cyberbullying, blackmail, and public incitement.” Ajayi explained that the claims, which resurfaced online in December 2025, were initially made by Ogala and later spread by bloggers, all while denying Pastor Okafor the opportunity to respond. The legal team said the controversy began in late 2024 following a business arrangement involving Ogala and a third party. Pastor Okafor reportedly withdrew after determining the deal could not yield the intended outcome. Ogala subsequently claimed he owed her ₦45 million, which Ajayi described as unfounded. “Whenever one allegation failed to gain attention, another emerged. It was a systematic attempt to see what would stick,” he stated. Ajayi also highlighted that Ogala had previously been arrested and charged for cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and issuing threats in connection with similar incidents, a case that was settled out of court. “During that process, she never alleged rape, sexual assault, or an affair. Those claims only surfaced after the settlement was allegedly breached,” he added. Following a resurgence of online attacks, new complaints were filed with the police, resulting in Ogala’s arrest and questioning. Ajayi accused VDM and other online platforms of misusing their influence, warning: “You cannot act as accuser, investigator, prosecutor, and judge simultaneously. Allegations of rape or murder must be reported to law enforcement.” He confirmed that formal criminal complaints have been lodged against those spreading the claims and reiterated that Doris Ogala, VDM, and other bloggers must present their evidence to the police.

Wale busari03 mins

The Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, did not appear before the police on Monday despite being summoned over allegations of multiple rape and other offences considered capable of breaching public peace. The cleric was directed to report to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, to meet the Deputy Commissioner of Police overseeing the SCID by 10:00 a.m. However, he was absent as of the close of the day. According to a statement issued on Sunday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, the Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, ordered a full investigation into the accusations following a series of complaints involving alleged sexual offences and conduct likely to disrupt public order. A senior officer at the SCID, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Okafor failed to honour the invitation. “After the CP’s directive on Sunday, the DCP immediately instructed the office handling such a case to debrief him, but they waited and did not see him. It is evening already, and he is obviously not coming here today.” Another police source disclosed that individuals reportedly contacted the command to request additional time on the pastor’s behalf. “We received calls from some people who appealed on his behalf, asking the police authorities to give him more time. They gave assurances that he would still show up. That is the information I have for now.” The police had earlier assured that adequate security arrangements had been made for the alleged victims and encouraged them to report to the SCID, Panti, where investigations are ongoing. The command also pledged to protect the identities of victims and witnesses throughout the process.

Wale busari02 mins

Pastor Chris Okafor, the founder of Grace Nation International, also known as Liberation City, has announced a temporary leave from his pulpit duties. The decision comes amid public scrutiny following a relationship controversy involving actress Doris Ogala, though it is unclear if the step down is directly linked to the scandal. During the church’s New Year service on Thursday, Okafor revealed that four pastors from his ministry—Pastors Sylvester, Kelvin, Oliver, and Shadrach—would lead services throughout January 2026. “We have four Sundays in January, and during these Sundays, Pastors Sylvester, Kelvin, Oliver, and Shadrach will minister and anoint you. While they are here, I will be resting. It is a time for a personal retreat with God and for my wife and me to rest. Since our wedding, we haven’t had time for rest or even a honeymoon,” he said. The controversy began after a video surfaced showing Okafor with a younger partner. Reports by DAILY POST state that several women, including actress Doris Ogala, accused him of promising marriage while engaging in sexual relationships with them. Despite the backlash, Okafor proceeded to marry his new wife in another church after Ogala reportedly threatened to interrupt the ceremony.
