“Anyone Attacking a Man of God Is a Demon on Assignment” — Pastor Chris Okafor Responds to Allegations
Popular Nigerian cleric Pastor Chris Okafor has sparked widespread reactions online following comments he made during a recent sermon in which he strongly addressed critics amid ongoing allegations leveled against him. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking to his congregation, the pastor described individuals who attack men of God as being “on a demonic assignment,” insisting that such criticisms go beyond personal attacks and extend to the church and its members.
“When you see a person attacking a man of God, that person is not just a human being; that person is a demon on assignment. It is not just an attack on the man of God, it is an attack on you,” Okafor said.
His remarks come in the wake of allegations made by some women, including Chidera Precious Okafor, who claim to be his daughters. Chidera had publicly shared accounts of alleged unfair treatment and an incident she described as a near assault, which she said occurred in 2020 during a period she reportedly lived with the cleric.
Pastor Okafor has, however, categorically denied the allegations, maintaining that he is not the biological father of the women involved. He has referenced a previous DNA test, which he claims disproves the assertions.
In response to the public circulation of the allegations, Okafor’s legal team has reportedly filed a lawsuit against social media activist VeryDarkMan, who amplified the claims online. The suit is said to be seeking a public retraction and is also requesting a fresh DNA test to conclusively address the controversy.
As the matter continues to generate debate across social media and religious circles, observers note that the situation highlights ongoing tensions between public accountability, religious leadership, and the influence of online activism.
At the time of filing this report, the allegations remain unresolved, and no court judgment has been issued.
Pastor Chris Okafor breaks silence amid allegations, dismisses critics as “demons on assignment” and denies claims linking him to the women involved.
