After failing to honour an invitation extended to him by the Lagos State Police command, controversial pastor and founder of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor finally honoured the invitation on the night of Tuesday, January 6.
He reported to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos.
He was supposed to honour the invitation on Monday, January 5 at 10:00 a.m. but by midnight of Monday, he was yet to show up.
The police extended the invitation to him following several complaints and allegations of multiple sexual offences and other offences capable of causing a breach of public peace.
Apparently, his decision to honour the invitation was as a result of warnings from influential individuals who cautioned him on the implications of defying a lawful summon.
Chris’ statement was taken during the visit, but he was not detained.
The ongoing investigation centres on a case between him and his estranged lover, equally controversial actress, Doris Ogalla, currently being handled by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Zone 2 Command, Onikan.
The controversy surrounding Chris reached a feverish pitch when an anonymous individual claiming to be a hired goon for the clergyman made some shocking revelation. The individual currently in hiding, claimed to have carried out nefarious activities on Okafor’s behalf and stated that the pastor owed him N7 million. He offered to lead the police to concealed evidence.
This latest development comes just after Chris knelt down publicly to apologise to Doris and some of the people he has hurt. Chris also, briefly stepped down from his pastoral duties. Although he claims that his reason for stepping down is because of months of continuous activities without rest, including the absence of a honeymoon since his wedding, the real reason is because of the dispute between him and Doris who called him out and accused him of breaching his promise to marry her.
Sources reveal that some of his fellow clergies had advised him to take time off the pulpit to seek God’s face and repentance in hopes that the scandal around him will die down.
