The Lagos State Police Command has invited the Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Pastor Chris Okafor, for questioning over multiple allegations of rape and sexual offences.
The invitation is also aimed at questioning him over other conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace and a breakdown of law and order in the state.
According to a statement released by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, Pastor Okafor is expected to report to the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department (DC SCID), Panti, by 10 a.m. on Monday, December 5, 2026.
“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department (DC SCID) to carry out a thorough investigation into the several criminal allegations against Pastor Chris Okafor.
“The Pastor has been duly served with an invitation letter through his legal representative and is expected to cooperate fully with the Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, in the ongoing investigation into the allegations of capital offences and other serious crimes against him,” the statement said.
CP Jimoh directed immediate full security coverage and protection for the victims and encouraged them to come forward and report at the Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, where the investigation into the alleged criminal acts against the pastor has commenced.
“The identity of the victims will be absolutely kept confidential and will be protected,” he assured. “Any person(s) or individuals who may have fallen victim are further implored to come forward to report their complaints in the hands of the alleged Pastor.”
The Commissioner of Police equally encouraged persons who have credible information or evidence relevant to the investigation to come forward without fear or apprehension to assist the Police.
“Such persons may wish to get across to the SCID through the Police Public Relations Department at the Lagos State Police Command or can go directly to the SCID,” he stated, reiterating that the identities of all victims and witnesses would be adequately protected.
CP Jimoh further assured that the investigation would be conducted in a professional, transparent, and unbiased manner, in line with the laws of the land, reaffirming the Command’s commitment to maintaining law and order, public peace, and safety — and ensuring that all allegations of criminal acts against anyone, regardless of status, are thoroughly investigated according to law.
