Lagos Police Invite Pastor Chris Okafor Over Multiple Rape, Sexual Assault Allegations

The Lagos State Police Command has invited Pastor Chris Okafor, Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, for questioning over allegations of multiple rape, other sexual offences, and conduct capable of causing a breach of public peace.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, disclosed that the cleric has been directed to report at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, on Monday by 10:00 a.m.

According to the statement, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Olohundare Jimoh, ordered a comprehensive investigation into the allegations and directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of SCID to oversee the probe.

The Command confirmed that Pastor Chris Okafor was formally served an invitation letter through his legal representative and is expected to cooperate fully with investigators as inquiries into the alleged capital offences and other serious crimes continue.

Jimoh also approved immediate security protection for alleged victims and urged anyone with relevant information or who may have been affected by the alleged acts to report directly to SCID Panti, where investigations are already underway.

The police assured the public that the identities of victims and witnesses would be treated with strict confidentiality and adequate protection throughout the investigation.

Reaffirming the Command’s stance, the Commissioner of Police stressed that no individual is above the law, adding that professionalism, transparency, and impartiality would guide the handling of the case.

“The Lagos State Police Command remains committed to the maintenance of law and order and the discreet investigation of all allegations of criminal conduct, regardless of the status of those involved. Justice must prevail,” the statement said.

The police action follows allegations that surfaced on social media in December 2025, drawing widespread public attention.

Among the prominent claims is that of Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, who alleged in a series of Instagram videos posted on December 14 that she was involved in a long-term sexual relationship with the pastor. She claimed the relationship began in 2017 and lasted several years, accusing him of making unfulfilled marriage promises, sharing explicit content, and contributing to the collapse of her previous marriage.

The investigation remains ongoing.
