A recent Sunday service at the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry has become the epicenter of intense public scrutiny, following Pastor Chris Okafor's public address of serious allegations against him. The clergyman's interaction with his daughter during the service has particularly drawn attention, with a social media user pointing out what he perceived as telling non-verbal cues.
Pastor's Public Denial and Family Questioning
During the service held on December 28, 2025, Senior Pastor Chris Okafor directly confronted the allegations circulating about his conduct. In a firm and emotional address, he denied any wrongdoing, particularly concerning his relationship with his daughter. He stated clearly that nothing inappropriate had ever happened under his watch.
Pastor Okafor argued that if any such events had truly occurred, they would have been reported to and addressed by the authorities long ago. To reinforce his point, he called his children, including his daughter, to the pulpit. In a moment captured on video, he asked her directly if he had ever touched her in an inappropriate manner, to which she replied, "No."
Social Media Spotlight on Non-Verbal Cues
The public display, intended to quell rumors, instead fueled further discussion online. An X user with the handle @ejykmykel1 reposted the video and shared a critical observation. He focused not on the words spoken, but on the daughter's demeanor.
"Somebody should tell this Pastor that all this are no longer necessary we already know the truth... The body language of his daughter speaks different in the video. He should stop complicating things for himself," the user wrote. This comment shifted the narrative, suggesting her physical posture and reactions told a story that contradicted her verbal denial.
Mixed Reactions from the Online Community
The observation sparked a wave of reactions from other social media users, revealing a deeply divided public opinion.
@OgaDeeno questioned, "Is this another daughter of his or the same one that testified against him on VDM's show?" hinting at a possible history of controversy.
@bissiriyu supported the initial observation, stating, "The said daughter couldn't even look straight to her father. This Pastor needs to drop all these theatrics as they are destroying him more."
Others urged the pastor to maintain silence, referencing his previous public apology to actress Doris Ogala, who had earlier accused him of having an affair with her for years before he married someone else. @Roseangel009 advised, "Chris should stop all these drama... From now on silence is golden, otherwise Doris might bring another thing up."
However, not everyone agreed with the body language interpretation. @Doyinabiolaa simply commented, "Well. I ain't seeing any body language tho," while @ReneilweTshaimo posed a critical question: "Observe the girl well. Is she really saying what she wants to say or she's been told to respond as forcefully prepped?"
Broader Context of Allegations and Apology
The Sunday service incident is not an isolated event. It follows serious allegations made by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, who claimed Pastor Okafor had a lengthy affair with her. Pastor Okafor had previously addressed these claims in a separate apology video directed at his church members.
That apology itself was criticized by some who felt it was not genuine. A different X user had opined that the pastor's apology seemed like a desperate attempt to guilt-trip his congregation rather than a sincere expression of remorse.
The convergence of these events—the actress's allegations, the pastor's apology, and the latest service where he involved his family—has created a complex saga that continues to play out in the court of public opinion, with body language analysis adding a new layer to the ongoing controversy.
