EXCLUSIVE: ‘Pastor Chris Okafor Raped, Impregnated Me At 15, Then Sexually Assaulted Our Child Years Later’: Ex-Church Member Accuses Lagos-Based Cleric

According to Ama, her ordeal began in late 2004 at Okafor’s residence on Bashiru Street, Ojodu-Berger, Lagos. After delivering snails there as an offering from her mother, she was summoned back days later.

SaharaReporters has obtained a shocking exclusive testimony detailing decades of alleged sexual predation, spiritual manipulation, and family betrayal by the founder of Liberation City, Pastor Chris Okafor.

For a short period, this arrangement worked, but access to her daughter was soon restricted. Ama said she was repeatedly denied visits, sometimes begging security guards for a glimpse just to briefly see the child.

She alleged the child was deliberately hidden to avoid suspicion.

The situation reached a catastrophic point when Precious confided in her mother.

She said, “Later, my daughter called me, crying, saying something was wrong and that she needed to see me before she left the house. I finished what I was doing and left immediately.

“When my daughter was finally with me, she opened up fully. She told me how she was treated differently, how she was denied food, how she was constantly told to leave the house, and how she never felt like she belonged. She said there were no pictures of her among the family photos, and it made her feel unwanted.

“I reassured her that she would not return there, that she was safe now, and that everything would be okay.”

“She later opened up to me how her father had been sexually assaulting her (Pastor Chris) too in multiple instances during all her stays with him,” she said.

The alleged assaults occurred when Precious was about 14 years old.

“He assaulted her around 2019 and early 2020 when she was barely 14 years old,” Ama stated.

Traumatized, Ama focused on her daughter’s safety.

According to the lawyers, Ogala alleged that Pastor Okafor made a “clear, consistent and unequivocal” promise to marry her, a commitment they said formed the foundation of a personal relationship that began in 2017.

They alleged that the relationship began when the actress was emotionally vulnerable and sought pastoral guidance from the cleric, during which he made assurances of marriage reinforced by conduct such as family introductions and joint appearances at family events.

Her lawyers said evidence including photographs, videos, messages, and banking records supports a claim of legitimate expectation of marriage.

They further alleged that she relied on the promise to her detriment by ending a troubled marriage, abandoning reconciliation, transferring ₦45 million to the cleric in a single transaction, and granting him access to her finances.

While acknowledging that marriage cannot be forced, her counsel argued that the law provides remedies for breach of promise and related harm.

Separately, the Lagos State Police Command confirmed that Pastor Chris Okafor had been invited for investigation over allegations of multiple rape and other serious sexual offences.

The Commissioner of Police ordered a thorough investigation by the State Criminal Investigation Department, with the cleric formally served through his lawyer.

The police also directed full security coverage for alleged victims, assured confidentiality and protection for victims and witnesses, appealed for credible information to aid the investigation, and pledged a professional, transparent, and unbiased process in line with the law.

In another incident, in an audio clip released by social media critic VeryDarkMan, a lady named Chidera Okafor, who claimed to be the daughter of Pastor Okafor, made several allegations regarding her experience in the cleric’s home.

The lady alleged that Pastor Okafor made amorous advances towards her within the family home and spoke of other generally “troubling” and unfair treatment during her time living in his household.

The situation allegedly forced her to flee the home in 2020, after which she reported the matter to her mother.

The cleric, through his lawyer, denied being the biological father of the lady and her sibling, attributing their mother’s claims to infidelity.

He also demanded a public apology and threatened legal action against the lady and VeryDarkMan for defamation and cyberbullying.

However, the pastor’s ex-wife, Ms. Bessem, later came forward with her own detailed allegations, including domestic violence, serial infidelity, and child molestation claims, and demanded DNA tests to prove paternity.
