Following allegations involving his ex-wife, Bessem, actress Doris Ogala, and other former church members, Pastor Chris Okafor, the founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, has been brought to the attention of the Lagos State Police Command.
Ogala filed a lawsuit against Pastor Okafor for breaking promises to her, which caused her emotional suffering in late last year.
She also asserted that the cleric was aware of the death of her brother. In addition, his ex-wife, Bessem, firmly refuted Okafor’s accusations of adultery against her while making accusations against the pastor.
The cleric reportedly resigned from his ministerial responsibilities for a month as a result of the rising allegations. Further sexual allegations have since been widely shared on social media.
Lagos State Police spokesman Abimbola Adebisi responded to the controversy by claiming Olohundare Jimoh, the commissioner of police, had ordered a full investigation.
According to Adebisi, Panti’s State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) has been given the task of investigating the allegations.
