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.

Pastor Chris Okafor has issued a public apology to Nollywood actress Doris Ogala following their ongoing controversy.

Addressing the matter, he offered an apology to Ogala and others who may have been affected, stating, “I’m sorry to everyone I’ve offended, to Doris Ogala, I also say sorry and I apologize.” Ogala has since reacted to the apology, saying she has forgiven him but strongly objected to his assertion that her claims were false. Reacting on Instagram, she wrote, “CHRIS OKAFOR I FORGIVE YOU BUT THERES A PROBLEM. WHERE YOU SAID EVERYTHING IS A LIE. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT BECAUSE I DONT LIE.” Mistakes have been made, and I tender a public apology to Doris Ogala and everyone I may have offended ~Pastor Chris Okafor. pic.twitter.com/NogyMygqvd — Egozanger (@Egozanger) December 29, 2025

Doris Ogala has renewed her allegations against Pastor Chris Okafor, escalating their ongoing controversy shortly after her arrest and release. The actress made it clear that she is not intimidated by the situation and remains determined to speak openly about her experiences. Ogala claimed that following her release, the clergyman allegedly tried to persuade her to withdraw her accusations by offering her money. She alleged that the payment was made on December 23 and came in two installments within the same day. “This is the $10,000 that was given to me by Chris on Dec 23. He first gave me $5000 in the afternoon and $5000 at night. He was pleading and pleading. He wants me to tell the world that it was few pastors that sent me to fight him and I should debunk everything I said.” She further stated that she accepted the money intentionally, insisting it was meant to serve as proof that her claims were not false. “Chris, I deliberately collected the money so the world can know I am not lying. $10,000 is nothing to me. This is a screenshot of the chat we had and that is his number.” Ogala maintained that she has no intention of retracting her statements, adding that she is prepared to reveal more details as the dispute continues to play out in the public space. “Pastor Chris Okafor gave me $10,000 to come out and retract everything I said about him, claiming other pastors sent me to spoil his name.” —Doris Ogala makes another weighty allegation against Pastor Chris Okafor pic.twitter.com/fVqPZIM0yX — CHUKS 🍥 (@ChuksEricE) December 27, 2025

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has urged the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the church altar of Pastor Chris Okafor, raising serious allegations during a recent podcast appearance. Speaking on the KAA Truth podcast, Ogala called for a thorough probe, claiming troubling incidents surrounded the construction of the church. She alleged that the building once collapsed and that a person died during the process. “DSS should go to that church and open his altar. I wouldn’t say further than that. When they were building that place, that place collapsed, somebody died,” she said. Ogala further claimed that a blogger later discovered something suspicious at the site and alleged that Pastor Okafor reached out to her, seeking help on how to stop the issue from becoming public. “Apart from somebody dying, there is a blogger that found something on the ground.
