Nude Photo Claim Goes Viral as Doris Ogala Demands ₦1bn From Pastor Chris Okafor

Lagos-based pastor Chris Okafor has declined to respond to allegations by actress Doris Ogala, who accused him of promising marriage to her and other women, including members of his congregation, before eventually marrying another woman.

The allegations surfaced days after Okafor’s wedding to his bride, Pearl, and quickly gained traction on social media following posts by Ogala, some of which were later deleted. In the posts, the actress accused the cleric of emotional manipulation, betrayal, and reneging on an alleged promise of marriage after what she described as a long-term relationship.

In several viral videos, Doris Ogala tearfully alleged that her relationship with Pastor Chris Okafor began around 2017 and lasted for years. She claimed she ended her previous marriage at his insistence and suffered emotional trauma when the relationship ended abruptly.

Speaking earlier with Saturday Beats on April 12, 2025, Ogala maintained that the relationship was well known to those close to the cleric. She insisted that Okafor promised to marry her and described their relationship as serious and committed.

In another interview during the week with media personality Daddy Freeze, Ogala said her emotional outburst was driven by vulnerability, adding that she believed their relationship was built on genuine affection and trust. She further claimed the relationship lasted from 2017 to 2019.

Meanwhile, a separate video shared on Ogala’s page featured a colleague, Digidi Dunhill, who alleged that the actress had attempted to harm herself amid the controversy.

The actress also posted what she described as a formal demand letter from her legal representatives, Synergy Law, demanding ₦1 billion in damages from Okafor for alleged breach of promise to marry, emotional distress, and reputational damage. She further accused the cleric of granting her access to his finances during their relationship before abandoning her after his engagement.

The legal notice reportedly gave Pastor Chris Okafor 21 days to respond or face legal action.

Repeated efforts to reach Okafor for comments proved unsuccessful as of press time.
