Commissioner of Police Olohundare Jimoh ordered the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, to launch an immediate inquiry into the cleric following a series of damaging allegations. Police Public Relations Officer Abimbola Adebisi confirmed the development to pressmen in Lagos.
Adebisi stated that the CP directed the SCID to invite the pastor for questioning, noting that the investigation would proceed even though no victim has filed a formal complaint yet.
Police justify intervention
The decision to investigate stems from escalating public outrage and the gravity of the claims circulating on social media.
Police spokesperson Adebisi explained that the command would not wait for a formal report before acting on such serious information.
Detectives at SCID Panti will now summon alleged victims and witnesses to provide statements that could assist in establishing the facts.
This proactive step by the police marks a significant shift in how authorities handle high-profile allegations involving religious leaders.
Doris Ogala’s explosive claims
The controversy reached a boiling point after actress Doris Ogala released a series of emotional videos on Instagram on December 14, 2025. Ogala alleged that she maintained a romantic relationship with the cleric for nine years, starting in 2017.
The actress claimed the pastor made false promises of marriage and accused him of sharing explicit photos of her with others. She further stated that her involvement with the clergyman contributed to the crash of her previous marriage.
Public interest in the matter intensified after a video surfaced suggesting that pastor Chris Okafor kneels to apologise to Doris Ogala over scandal. The viral nature of these accusations forced the authorities to step in to determine the truth.
A history of controversy
This current investigation adds to a growing list of public disputes involving the Lagos-based pastor. Observers note that the cleric has faced similar scrutiny in the past regarding his personal life and conduct.
The new probe revives memories of previous family disputes, including instances where Pastor Chris Okafor’s ex-wife Bessem exposes his deep secrets and alleged abuse.
Investigators will likely look into these patterns as they gather evidence and speak to potential witnesses.
CP Jimoh has assured the public that the police will conduct a thorough and unbiased investigation into the matter.
