The apology that Pastor Chris Okafor of Mountain of Liberty and Miracle Ministry had previously given to actress Doris Ogala for his years-long covert relationship with her has been retracted.
According to reports, the actress confronted the clergyman last year for breaking up their eight-year sexual relationship after he had promised her marriage.
The story started when a video of the pastor interacting with a young woman appeared on social media.
In addition to demanding payment, Doris Ogala accused the cleric of engaging in scandalous and illegal actions.
Okafor gave the actress $10,000 during the issue, which she claimed was insufficient given the evidence she had against him.
Following the development, Okafor, during a Sunday service, tendered an open apology to Doris Ogala and begged her and other women he had hurt for forgiveness.
Reports that despite the apology, the actress continues to drag Okafor.

However, in a new development, Chris Okafor made a U-turn and withdrew his apology, claiming he apologised to her under pressure from those around him.
While referring to her as Jezebel, Okafor in a now-trending video on social media, told his congregation that he will resolve the matter legally.
“There’s no apology for what I didn’t do or for someone I haven’t met face to face. I was pressured by people I called friends but who are not.
“Firstly, the reason why I apologised was that the fathers of faith were being dragged. And I did not want them to be dragged. Pastor Bishop Abioye, and Matthew,” he said.
Revealing why he went on his knees to apologise to her, he said “I knelt down because of those fathers. Not because of any Jezebel anywhere.”
Recall that Okafor’s second daughter, Amara alleged plan to press charges against him for assault and abuse.
