The actress called out the clergyman last year for dumping her after promising her marriage in their eight years of sexual relationship.
Pastor Chris Okafor, a popular Nigerian cleric of Mountain of Liberty and Miracle Ministry, has withdrawn the apology he earlier issued to actress Doris Ogala for his alleged years-long secret romance with her.
The actress called out the clergyman last year for dumping her after promising her marriage in their eight years of sexual relationship.
The saga broke out after a video clip of the clergyman engaging a young lady surfaced on social media.
Doris Ogala, who demanded compensation, further accused the cleric of involvement in scandalous and criminal activities.
Amid the controversy, Okafor gave the actress $10,000, which she said was too small compared to the evidence she has 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.
Recall that despite the apology, the actress continues to drag Okafor.
However in a new development, Chris Okafor made U-turn and withdrew his apology, claiming that he apologized to her due to 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.
