The Digest:
Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, has announced a one-month hiatus from the pulpit for a spiritual retreat with his new wife, stepping into a personal storm as serious public allegations against him intensify.
Key Points:
- Pastor Okafor declared he would step aside for all four Sundays in January, appointing four assistant pastors to lead services.
- He stated the break is for a "personal retreat with God," rest, and a belated honeymoon with his wife, claiming they've had no time off since their wedding.
- The announcement comes amidst renewed, grave accusations from his ex-wife, Bessem, and actress Doris Ogala, who alleges his involvement in her brother's death.
- Ogala has publicly demanded Okafor explain his "role" in the alleged poisoning of her brother, dismissing his church break as insufficient and vowing to release evidence.
- The pastor has been accused in the past by his ex-wife of physical assault and by Ogala of emotional distress and broken marriage promises.
- As of the latest reports, Pastor Okafor has not publicly responded to these new, severe allegations from Ogala.
