Tuesday, January 6, 2026 -The Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, did not honour a police invitation on Monday in connection with allegations of multiple rape and other offences that could disrupt public order.
Okafor was requested to report to the State Criminal
Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, before the Deputy Commissioner of Police
overseeing SCID by 10:00 a.m.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola
Adebisi, stated in a Sunday briefing that the Commissioner of Police,
Olohundare Jimoh, had mandated a thorough investigation into complaints lodged
against the cleric.
The allegations reportedly involve sexual misconduct and
actions potentially capable of disturbing public peace.
An officer at SCID, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
confirmed that Okafor did not show up as scheduled.
“Following the CP’s directive, the DCP instructed the unit
handling the case to debrief him, but he did not appear. As of evening, it was
evident he would not attend today,” the officer said.
Another source familiar with the matter revealed that Okafor
allegedly sent representatives to request additional time from the police.
“We received calls from his aides asking for an extension
and assuring authorities that he would eventually report. That is the latest
update we have,” the source said.
Attempts to reach Adebisi for comment on Monday were
unsuccessful, as calls and text messages to her office went unanswered at the
time of filing this report.
