Pastor Chris Okafor hands himself over to police

The Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, has reportedly surrendered to police following serious allegations of misconduct and other offenses.

According to the Lagos State Police Command, Okafor voluntarily reported to authorities after failing to appear for a scheduled police invitation on Monday, despite prior notification on Sunday by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti.

In a statement to TVC on Wednesday, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, said:

“When he was invited, he got to us through his lawyer that he would be appearing on Monday. So, on Monday, we waited for him. We didn’t see him, and I directed that he should be arrested. Subsequently, he showed up yesterday.”

CP Jimoh confirmed that the case has been handed over to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Sylvester Alabi, for further investigation.

“We later learned that the same matter had been opened at the Zone 2 headquarters with the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, which I verified. He informed me the investigation had been ongoing under his command for about three weeks,” Jimoh explained.

Addressing complaints from alleged victims, the CP emphasized the role of social media in bringing attention to cases.

“The social media has become a veritable space for people to lodge their complaints. We no longer wait for people to come and see the matter before we act in public interest, because if we don’t, the conduct can lead to a breakdown of law and order,” he said.
