Nigerian Pastor Gideon Chika Onyeudo, popularly known as Beloved Onyeudo, has spoken in defence of Pastor Chris Okafor following public allegations made by actress Doris Ogala about an alleged romantic affair.

In the video, Pastor Onyeudo criticised those circulating Doris Ogala’s videos, describing them as either anti-Christ or long-time enemies of the church.
He argued that those behind the claims do not love Jesus and are attempting to destabilise the church by attacking its leader.
He further suggested that the controversy would help Pastor Okafor identify genuine members of his congregation.
Onyeudo added that if Okafor had married the actress, the matter would not have attracted criticism, but because the alleged affair did not lead to marriage, he is now being labelled “fake.”
In his own words, Onyeudo said:
"One lady, they call Doris Ogara, Ogara, Ogala, came out and is talking against Chris Okafor. Anybody peddling those videos or peddling those nonsense is either you are an anti-Christ or you have been an enemy of the church for a long time."
He explained that enemies of the church often wait for negative news to confirm their suspicions.

Judgement for Pastors and Members
Onyeudo also claimed that pastors and church members face the same judgment, including the same consequences in hellfire. He questioned why pastors are judged harshly for alleged misconduct when members themselves engage in similar behaviour.
He described the situation as “sinners judging others for sinning differently,” clarifying that he was not justifying wrongdoing but urging the church to protect itself rather than join outsiders in casting aspersions.
Finally, Onyeudo warned that those spreading the allegations ultimately seek the closure of churches, stressing that an attack on a pastor is an attack on the congregation.
