The Lagos State Police Command has summoned Pastor Chris Okafor of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries to appear before the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, as investigations intensify into allegations of multiple rape, other sexual offences and actions deemed capable of breaching public peace.
According to a press statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, the invitation requires the cleric to report to the SCID, Panti, on Monday, January 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. The statement noted that the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into what the police described as “several criminal allegations” levelled against the pastor.
“Sequel to the allegations of multiple rape, other sexual offences and conduct capable of causing a breach of public peace, the Commissioner of Police has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department to carry out a thorough and discreet investigation,” Adebisi said.
The police confirmed that Pastor Okafor has been formally served with an invitation letter through his legal representative and is expected to cooperate fully with investigators at Panti. The command stressed that the investigation covers alleged capital offences and other serious crimes, adding that no individual is above the law.
CP Jimoh has also ordered immediate and full security coverage for the alleged victims, urging them to come forward without fear to assist the investigation. “Victims are encouraged to feel free to report at the Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, where investigation has already commenced,” the police said.
The command assured that the identities of all complainants will be kept strictly confidential. “The identity of the victims will be absolutely protected,” Adebisi stated, adding that anyone with credible information or evidence relevant to the case is welcome to assist the police without fear or apprehension.
Such individuals, the statement explained, may contact the Police Public Relations Department at the Lagos State Police Command or report directly to the SCID, Panti, to provide useful information.
Reiterating its position, the Lagos State Police Command said it remains committed to maintaining law and order and ensuring public safety across the state. “All allegations of criminal acts against anyone, no matter how highly or lowly placed, will be investigated according to the dictates of the law,” the statement said. “Justice must prevail in the whole episode.”
The development has sparked widespread public attention, as the police assured Lagos residents that the outcome of the investigation will be guided strictly by evidence and due process.
