Pastor Chris Okafor weds fiancée as Doris Ogala heads for court

Pastor Chris Okafor has officially tied the knot with his fiancée, a development that comes amid the ongoing public drama involving Nollywood actress Doris Ogala.

The wedding comes weeks after Doris Ogala went public with claims that she dated the clergyman for several years and was promised marriage — allegations she repeated during a live session with Daddy Freeze, where she shared detailed accounts of their relationship and fallout.

Meanwhile, Ogala has threatened to filed a N1bn lawsuit against clergyman, accusing him of reneging on a promise to marry her and instead marrying another woman.

Ogala’s legal team, Synergy Law Partners, sent a formal demand letter to Okafor, outlining the claims. The letter states that their relationship began in 2017, during a period of marital distress for Ogala, and that the pastor had consistently promised to marry her.

She was reportedly introduced to his family, including his children, and attended family functions with them, creating a legitimate expectation of marriage.

According to the lawyers, Ogala relied heavily on this promise, taking life-altering steps, including leaving her troubled marriage and entrusting Okafor with ₦45 million in a single financial transaction.

The lawsuit further alleges that Okafor’s actions caused severe emotional and psychological trauma, including panic attacks and suicidal thoughts, as well as reputational damage due to public scrutiny and online victim-shaming.

Ogala’s team also claims that private, explicit photographs were maliciously circulated, worsening her distress.

Ogala’s lawyers are demanding N1 billion in aggravated and general damages, citing the calculated public nature of the breach, harm to her reputation, and threats to her health.

The letter requests that payment be made within 21 days, failing which legal action will proceed.
