Pastor Chris Okafor of Mountain of Liberty and Miracle Ministry, has recanted an apology previously made to the actress Doris Ogala for his years-long secret romance with her.
It was reported earlier that the actress called out the clergy man last year for dumping despite promising her marriage in their 8 years of sexual relationship.
The controversy came after the clip of the clergy man engaging a young lady surfaced on social media.
Doris who demanded compensation for him further accused him of involvement in scandalous and criminal activities.
Amid the controversy, Okafor gave Doris $10,000, which she said was too small compared to the evidence she has against him.
Following the development, Okafor during a Sunday service, tendered an open apology to Doris and begged her and other women he had hurt for forgiveness.
The reports also had it that despite the apology, the actress continues to drag Okafor.
However in a new development, Chris Okafor made U-turn and withdrew his apology, claiming that he apologized to her due to pressure from those around him.
While referring to her as Jazebel, Okafor in a now trending video on social media, told his congregation that he will resolve the matter legally. Noting that “There’s no apology for what I didn’t do or for someone I haven’t met face to face. I was pressured by people I called friends but who are not.
“Firstly, the reason why I apologised was that the fathers of faith were being dragged. And I did not want them to be dragged. Pastor Bishop Abioye, and Matthew”, he said.
Revealing why he went on his knees to apologise to her, he said “I knelt down because of those fathers. Not because of any Jezebel anywhere.”
Recall that Okafor’s second daughter, Amara alleged plan to press charges against him for assault and abuse.
