The case involving the Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, has been transferred to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Sylvester Alabi.
The development was confirmed on Wednesday by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh during an interview with TVC.
Jimoh confirmed that Pastor Okafor failed to honour a police invitation on Monday, despite being invited on Sunday by the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, over the allegations against him.
The CP however confirmed that the Pastor eventually showed up on Tuesday.
“When he was invited, he got to us through his lawyer that he would be appearing on Monday. So, on Monday, we waited for him. We didn’t see him, and I directed that he should be arrested.
“Subsequently, he showed up yesterday (Tuesday). Yes, he showed up yesterday,” he said.
Jimoh added that the matter has been transferred to Zone 2 for further investigation because the same case was also reported there and since the AIG occupies an office higher then his own and investigations had commenced there, the matter had to be transferred.
“We later learned that the same matter had been opened at the Zone 2 headquarters with the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, which I needed to verify, and I verified the same.
“And he told me the matter is being investigated under his command for about three weeks now.
“So, the AIG occupies a higher office than mine as a commander and is my immediate supervisor since he’s into the matter. So, we handed the matter back to the Zone,” he explained.
The Commissioner said the Police was proactive after the matter was reported on social media and acted in public interest.
The CP said, “The social media has become a veritable space for people to lodge their complaints. We no longer wait for people to come and see the matter before we act in public interest, because if we don’t, the conduct can lead to a breakdown of law and order.”
Naijaonpoint recalls that the controversy began in mid-December 2025, when multiple allegations against Okafor surfaced online.
Particularly, Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala, accused the pastor of a long-term sexual relationship dating back to 2017, claiming he broke promises of marriage, shared explicit content, and contributed to the collapse of her previous marriage.
