Senior Pastor of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, on Sunday publicly apologised to Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, kneeling before his congregation as he sought forgiveness for past “mistakes.”

The apology follows a heated public feud that has played out on social media, with Ogala accusing the cleric of an alleged affair, unfulfilled marriage promises, sharing explicit content, and offering her $10,000 to withdraw claims that she was hired by rival pastors to tarnish his image.

In a viral video shared by NigeriaStories on X, Okafor was seen at the pulpit addressing worshippers with a microphone in hand.

“Listen, we’re not joining issues. Mistakes have been made in the past, and I tender an apology to everybody,” he said.

He went on to specifically mention the actress, adding, “I am sorry to everyone I have offended, to Doris Ogala also. I say sorry and apologise to everyone that I’ve offended.”

Okafor also expressed readiness to make amends, stating, “I’m ready to make a restitution to anyone, anybody, any lady I have offended. I am sorry. Forgive me.”

Acknowledging his flaws, the pastor concluded, “Not perfect, I’ve never been perfect.”

The public apology has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians debating accountability, forgiveness, and conduct among religious leaders.
