Addressing his congregation during his wedding thanksgiving service on Sunday, December 21, Pastor Okafor explained how the brief testimony he and his wife had shared sparked criticism.
“The devil became angry with just this little one we showed,” he said.
He emphasised that the testimony was not meant to attract attention or sympathy but to glorify God’s intervention. Pastor Okafor added that “both my wife and I made a conscious decision to withhold full details for now,” stressing that timing and spiritual sensitivity were important when sharing personal experiences.
He, however, reassured congregants that the full story would be shared at the right time.
"Someday, and at the right time, we will share our stories, but for now, we just want to give thanks to God. I want you to know we prayed, sought the face of the Lord, and He gave us direction, and we followed it. There are encounters to this that you will not know now, but not long from now, we will tell our story. Nobody can tell our story," he said.

Appreciating his congregants, Pastor Chris said,
"I want to thank everyone, whether you are happy or not, thank you. In any way you believe we have offended you, we are sorry."
The video surfaced on social media amid actress Doris Ogala's arrest.

Doris Ogala has always beeen in the news for negative trends
A Christian, Razaq Oshaffi, while reacting to Pastor Chris Okafor's drama with Doris Ogala said,
"As for Doris, she has always been in the news for negative trends, so it will be difficult for people to take her seriously had it been a normal Nigerian man was involved, not a pastor. But she has a right to be aggrieved after been scammed by someone she claimed to be in love with. Her tears are valid, she is not innocent in the matter but she deserves to be given what is due to her. Especially someone with such overwhelming evidence against the man."
