“I am not joining issues,” he said, referring specifically to Doris Ogala. “Mistakes have been made in the past, and I tender my apology to everybody. But everything that was said is not true. There are so many lies in most of the things that were said.”

Despite disputing the claims, Pastor Chris reiterated his willingness to make amends, stating that he was ready to offer restitution to any woman he may have offended.

“To Doris Ogala, I will apologize, and I also apologize to everyone. I am ready to make a restitution to anyone and anybody, any lady, anywhere I’ve offended.”

“I’m kneeling down before everyone and before the church. Forgive me. You can judge me. Pray for me,” he added.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that the actress was arrested by the Lagos State Police on Saturday for dragging Chris Okafor after he allegedly failed to fulfill his marriage promise to her.

She was released on Monday afternoon after spending two nights in police custody, where the pastor allegedly begged her for a peaceful resolution.

However updating the public about the current state of her issues with the clergyman, Doris, who has earlier requested compensation from Okafor, disclosed that table talks and resolution are ongoing.

“Talks is going on now, resolution is ongoing at the moment. I’m still in Lagos, I’m not back in Abuja. I want to know where it’s heading, and I want to know the end of this table talk. I will come back, and I will seek God’s face.

“I will ask God the next direction, what should I do because at the moment, I don’t know what to do. I will ask for his wisdom, what should I do, because I have a lot to say, I have a lot I want to reveal, I have a lot I want the world to learn from this.

“At the same time, I don’t want to have anyone’s blood on my hand. This is still bad than anyone thinks. I haven’t said anything. What I just said online is nothing to what I’m about to say before my arrest.

“But I will leave everything to God and pray and seek his direction to let him direct me on how best to go about it. I’m not afraid of anyone, I’m not afraid of going to jail. All I want is to speak my truth, and my truth I will speak,” she said.

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has escalated her long-standing dispute with popular clergyman Pastor Chris Okafor to the courts, filing a ₦1 billion lawsuit over what she claims was an unfulfilled promise of marriage.

The actress instituted the suit at a high court, accusing the pastor of emotional distress, reputational damage, and breach of trust arising from their alleged relationship.

Doris has repeatedly claimed that she and Pastor Okafor were in a serious, long-term relationship and that she was led to believe marriage was imminent.

In previous public statements, Doris alleged that the relationship spanned several years, during which she said she made personal sacrifices, offered support, and remained loyal, only to be abandoned when the pastor allegedly chose to marry someone else.

She has consistently denied claims that her demands amount to blackmail, insisting instead that she is seeking justice for emotional and psychological harm suffered.

The ₦1 billion suit is said to include demands for damages, public apology, and legal recognition of the alleged wrongs committed against her.

While details of the court filings are yet to be fully made public, the development marks a significant escalation in the highly publicized dispute that has played out both online and in the media.

As of the time of filing this report, Pastor Chris Okafor has not issued an official response to the lawsuit. The case is expected to attract considerable public attention as it progresses, given the profiles of both parties and the sensitive nature of the allegations.

The court is yet to fix a date for hearing.
