Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has declined the apology offered by Pastor Chris Okafor, who recently announced a temporary break from his pastoral duties.
Earlier, Tori News reported that the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry Pastor stepped aside from handling church services.
During a recent service, a video showed the pastor telling his members that other ministers would handle church activities throughout January while he takes time off for prayers, rest, and family time.
He also stated that he and his wife had not taken time off since their wedding.
Ogala, who has been vocal about her grievances, emphasized that the pastor stepping aside is not sufficient to address the deeper issues she has raised, particularly regarding the mysterious death of her younger brother.
Ogala called on the pastor to come forward with answers and said she is determined to bring attention to the circumstances surrounding her brother’s passing.
She stated that the apology and the pastor’s temporary leave are not enough to ease her pain, and she intends to present evidence to support her claims.
She said in a video: “Many people have said that he left me and married another person, that he detained me, that he sent my nude pictures, and that he apologised, so I should let it go. It does not work like that. Chris Okafor should come and explain to me what happened to my brother. Stepping down from the church is not enough.
“I heard that he stepped down from the altar for one month and handed over to his assistant pastor, but that is not enough for me. Chris Okafor, stepping down from the altar, is not enough. You have to explain to me what happened to my brother, the role you played and how my brother was poisoned. I have all the evidence, and I am going to play everything: voice recordings and all the plots.
“You have a long battle coming. No matter what, you had no right to go that far with me. I did nothing to you. People said I should forgive, but what am I leaving behind? If I leave everything, will the money he gives me bring my brother back?
“This is just the beginning. We have not started yet, Chris. Just hold on. I will be displaying everything. You will tell me what happened to my brother. What offence did he commit? Did he have anything to do with you? Why did you hurt me this much? Stepping down from the altar is not enough for me.”
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has firmly denied reports circulating in some quarters that it has released the timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.
The commission stated clearly that this information is false and misleading, adding that INEC has not released any timetable or schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.
The commission reiterated that it operates strictly within the provisions of the law, citing in particular, Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 which provides that the Commission shall publish a Notice of Election not later than 360 days before the date appointed for a general election.
“Any timetable or schedule issued outside this statutory framework cannot emanate from INEC,” a statement signed by Adedayo Oketola CPS/Media Adviser to the INEC Chairman, said.
INEC assured Nigerians that the official Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election will be released in due course, in full compliance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022.
“When released, it will be communicated through the commission’s established and verified channels,” it added
The commission urged the public and the media to disregard the fake reports and always rely on information from INEC’s official platforms for accurate and authoritative updates.
Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has cautioned Eric Chelle’s side ahead of their Round of 16 encounter with Mozambique at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
According to Oliseh, the knockouts will be a different kettle of fish from the group stages, starting with the Round of 16
The Super Eagles won all their three group fixtures – the only team to achieve the feat.
By the end of the group stages, Eric Chelle’s men scored eight goals and conceded four.
“We’re starting the round of 16. What changes here now is that if you lose, you go home,” Oliseh said on his podcasy.
“It is no longer important how beautiful you play; what matters is the result, and that is why the Super Eagles have to make sure their priority is not conceding.”
Tonto Dikeh, the Nollywood actress, has shared what she calls a “small secret” that many people tend to overlook — a revelation she believes could impact their financial fortunes in 2026.
In a video shared on her Instagram page, the actress advised people to stop seeing wealthy friends, family members, and influential figures only as future helpers, and start being intentional about giving to them first — no matter how small.
Tonto explained that rich people receive countless messages daily from people asking for help, but very few from people who simply want to give or appreciate them. According to her, standing out starts with being different.
She encouraged fans to give within their capacity, stressing that it is not about the size of the gift but the heart and intention behind it.
“These people have thousands of DMs of people begging them, but not of people wanting to give them. Be different,” she said.
The actress also touched on a lesson she said her life coach once taught her — that leadership and blessings often flow through those who understand the power of giving.
Tonto added that many people constantly ask favors from friends they rely on, yet have never taken time to give them even a small gift in appreciation.

Raoul Njeng-Njeng, the Nigerian singer, who is popularly known as Skales, has shared how a viral moment featuring Barcelona teenage sensation Lamine Yamal had a positive impact on his life and career.
Recall that videos of Yamal dancing to Skales’ song quickly spread across social media, drawing massive engagement from football fans and music lovers alike.
Testifying at Harvesters church service, the ‘Shake Body’ crooner explained that the unexpected viral moment sparked renewed global attention for his music, opening fresh opportunities and conversations around his career.
Skales described the experience as a clear reminder of divine timing, stressing that the help came at a time he was facing public ridicule.
He said, “Earlier this year, I told God he needed to bless me because my career, I was being laughed at. My team and I had a plan, but little did we know God had a bigger plan.
“God raised a kid in Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, and all it took was one simple dance video that went viral, and changed my life.
“I had written down seven prayer points, and all of them happened in one day. It’s so amazing that I found myself editing an adidas advert, a global advert. I want to give glory to God.”
Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation International, also known as Liberation City, has taken a temporary break from his ministerial duties.
Okafor announced the development during the New Year service on Thursday, asking four pastors under him to take over from the month of January 2026.
The development comes amidst calls for the pastor to step down from his pastoral duties following reports of sexual allegation from former church members and also a relationship scandal involving actress, Doris Ogala.
But it is unclear if the decision has anything to do with the relationship scandal and ensuing allegations against the cleric.
Okafor said, “We have four Sundays in January, so, in the whole of these four Sundays, we would be having Pastor Sylvester, Pastor Kelvin, Pastor Oliver, and Shadrach minister to you and anoint you every Sunday because it’s going to be prophetic Sundays.
“So, they will be here. While they are here, I will be resting, and it will be time for a personal retreat with God and time for me and my wife to rest because since our wedding we have not rested, we’ve not had time, we have not even done honeymoon.”
The controversy trailing the pastor started immediately after a video of him getting engaged to his wife surfaced online.
