Pastor Chris Okafor has tied the knot with his longtime partner in a well-attended wedding ceremony held over the weekend in Lekki, Lagos, putting to rest weeks of online speculation and controversy surrounding his personal life.
The ceremony attracted an impressive gathering of family members, close friends, church members, and well-wishers, creating a celebratory atmosphere that stood in sharp contrast to the claims earlier made by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, who had publicly alleged that the cleric was obligated to marry her.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, social media platforms were awash with videos and statements from the actress, including claims of a past romantic relationship and reported demands that Pastor Okafor should provide her with a house. Despite the widespread attention the allegations generated online, the wedding reportedly went ahead without any disruption.
Sources close to the pastor have described the claims as unfounded and misleading, insisting they were part of an attempt to stir controversy and divert attention from an important moment in his life.
A source familiar with the event told ReportNaija that Pastor Okafor was visibly encouraged by the turnout and the show of solidarity from those who attended.
“Pastor Chris is genuinely grateful for the overwhelming support he received,” the source said. “His focus is on his marriage and his ministry, not on online distractions.”
The presence of prominent Christian leaders further highlighted the significance of the ceremony. Notable figures in attendance included Bishop Isaac Idahosa, Pastor Ashimolowo, and Bishop Idah Peterside, who were said to have offered prayers and support to the newly married couple.
Observers say the peaceful and successful ceremony has helped shift public conversation away from online accusations, renewing calls for restraint and responsibility in the handling of unverified claims on social media.
As Pastor Chris Okafor begins a new chapter in his personal life, those close to him say his priorities remain firmly centered on family, faith, and the future.
