Dr Chris OKAFOR and wife, Pearl returning to prophetic duty recently
Cablenews24reports that Sunday, February 1, 2026 was therefore not an ordinary day. Just like how the second month of the year unfolded like a canvas waiting for the brushstrokes of destiny, Okafor stepped out like a man remolded, reborn, ready to paint his narrative anew.
The road to this moment had been paved with whispers of immorality, infidelity, and even the macabre – a tale of a man brought low by the very faith he preached. Actress Doris Ogala’s explosive allegations had sparked a media firestorm, with Very Dark Man (VDM) amplifying the claims before backing down in the face of evidentiary drought.
The pastor’s estranged wife, Angela Bessem Okafor, had added her voice to the chorus, accusing him of domestic violence and infidelity. Even a daughter had momentarily joined the fray, only to recant her words later. It was a mess of Shakespearean proportions, with reputations torn asunder and faith tested.
But Dr. Okafor was undeterred. With his new wife, Pearl, by his side, he took the fight to the devil, vowing to continue his mission to ‘depopulate the kingdom of darkness and win souls for Jesus.’ His words, laced with conviction, seemed to resonate with the faithful, who erupted into applause and ululations as he took the stage.
As he stood before them, resplendent in white, it was clear that this was more than just a return to the pulpit – it was a defiant declaration of faith, a refusal to be defined by the scandals that had sought to consume him.
Was there any doubts that his flock would stand by him? No. Not with how he has shown himself to be an ardent practitioner of what he preached for more than two decades of activity in God’s vineyard. Sunday’s roar of approval spoke volumes about how dearly they valued their shepherd, and how much they were willing to approve his show of penitence for whatever contrived offence allegedly committed.
