Pastor Chris Okafor Kneels in Public Apology to Doris Ogala and the Body of Christ

 In a dramatic turn of events that has captured national attention, renowned clergyman Pastor Chris Okafor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries publicly knelt before members of his church and issued an emotional apology to Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, his congregation and the broader body of Christ.

The apology — shared widely on social media and captured on video from the pastor’s own church platforms — comes amid days of intense public scrutiny following accusations by the actress related to a personal relationship with the cleric.

On Sunday, December 28, Pastor Okafor was seen kneeling on the church altar, visibly emotional as he addressed worshippers and viewers of the live broadcast. In his remarks, he acknowledged mistakes he said had been made in the past and extended his regret to “everyone I have offended,” with specific reference to Doris Ogala.

“Mistakes have been made in the past and I tender apology to everybody… To Doris Ogala, I also say sorry,” he said, noting that he was prepared to make restitution where necessary.

While disputing some of the allegations that were levied against him online, Pastor Okafor emphasized his humanity and urged the church and public to forgive his shortcomings. “I’m kneeling before everyone and before the church. Forgive me,” he said.

The apology comes after a highly publicized social media confrontation between Okafor and actress Doris Ogala, who had publicly criticized the pastor for allegedly reneging on marriage plans despite earlier promises. The situation sparked strong reactions online and drew law enforcement attention before Ogala was released from custody.

Video clips circulating online show the pastor breaking down during his apology and pleading for understanding from his congregation and the larger Christian community.

Reactions on social media and within church circles have been mixed. Some commend Pastor Okafor for acknowledging his mistakes, while others question his motivations and call for deeper accountability.

One discussion thread highlighted a range of opinions, from encouragement to forgiveness to outright criticism of how the situation was handled, with some netizens urging legal and moral scrutiny.

As the story continues to unfold, many are watching closely to see whether this public apology will lead to reconciliation between Pastor Okafor and Doris Ogala or prompt further developments within Nigeria’s religious and entertainment spheres..
