When You Strike The Shepherd, The Sheep Will Scatter - Pastor Chris Okafor Reacts To Criticisms Over Doris Ogala's Accusations

Pastor Chris Okafor, the leader and founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, also known as Liberation City, has addressed the criticisms that have followed the accusations levelled against him by Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala.

The clergyman who has been accused of committing several atrocities, addressed the claims against him during a service with his congregation. He labelled all his critics as far from humans, but demons, stating that they are trying to attack the shepherd, which will eventually affect the sheep.

Exonerating himself, he stressed that whenever they see a man of God who is innocent, yet subjected to persecution, it goes beyond attacking him, but it also targeted at the church members.

He said: "When you see a person attacking a man of God, that person is not just a human being, that person is a dem0n on assignment. When you strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter. It is not just about the shepherd. It is also about the people that the shepherd carries.

"Every time you see a man of God who is genuinely innocent and they’re persecuting, it’s not just an attack on him, it’s an attack on you [church members]. Number one, it is your blessing that is being attacked. Number two it says the prophet is in their midst to help them. It is your help they are attacking…."

Refreshing your memory, The Nigerian Voice had previously reported that Doris Ogala in a viral video on Instagram, had called out Pastor Chris Okafor for refusing to honour his promise of marrying her, despite being intimate with her since 2017. She accused him of using her, being responsible for the death of her younger brother, financial exploitation, and many other atrocities.

Not backing down following the clergyman's wedding to his heartrob, Doris, in a viral video alleged that Pastor Chris' marriage to the bride was under compulsion after raping her. She claimed that the young bride is 21 years old, and her mother is a choir coordinator in the church, who had also been romantically involved with the clergyman.

Doris further claimed that the clergyman was left with no choice than to marry the young lady, due to threats of legal actions from her family.

Additionally, Doris, during a recent episode of the KAA Truths Podcast, called on the Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) to visit the clergyman's altar, and find out what is beneath it. She alleged that an individual died during the construction of the altar, adding that a blogger also gave her some information about the altar and what was beneath it; however, Pastor Chris got wind of it, and passionately appealed to her to die it down.

Following Doris Ogala’s continuous allegations against Pastor Chris, she was reportedly arrested during a livestream on Saturday night. She had, during the livestream confirmed that some operatives of the Nigerian police force were in her home, and she could also be heard reprimanding an individual for giving ‘anyhow’ person access to her home, despite her warnings.

She, however, regained her freedom on Monday, December 22, expressing gratitude to human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore and VeryDarkMan for securing her release.
