Televangelist and Founder of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry, Dr Chris Okafor, has raised concerns over what he described as cyberbullying and called for stronger regulation of Nigeria’s digital space.

Speaking at a press briefing in Lagos on Thursday, Okafor expressed frustration over the activities of bloggers and social media influencers, accusing many of spreading unverified information and damaging reputations.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in November 2025, Nollywood actress Doris Ogala alleged that Okafor had been involved in a long-standing relationship with her and had failed to fulfil a promise to marry her.

Ogala further accused the cleric of killing her brother and burying the head of an unidentified murdered person at the altar of his church in the Ojodu area of Lagos State.

Reacting to the controversy, Okafor said that the most painful part of the situation was how bloggers and influencers allegedly attacked him based on accusations without proof or giving him the opportunity to respond.

“It is so sad that most of the so-called influencers we have often connived with people to come up with fabulous lies to attract traffic to their blogs.

“Many Nigerians have suffered and are still suffering from the lies of bloggers and most often, they get away with it after destroying the image of their targets.

“Very few times, some of the influencers were arrested and dragged to court but 90 per cent of them often go free for far-fetched lies against people.

“Nigeria must find a way to safeguard its internet space, especially to ensure that innocent citizens do not get shattered over lies, demeaning their image,” he said.

The pastor stressed the need for the National Assembly to introduce laws that would regulate online activities and ensure that offenders are punished to serve as a warning to others.

He also called on cybercrime authorities to intensify efforts in tracking digital offences and bringing perpetrators to justice.

Reflecting on his experience, Okafor lamented that many bloggers and members of the public failed to seek facts or ask critical questions before accepting the allegations against him.

A former Big Brother Naija housemate and comedian, Aderombi Adedayo, also known as Dee One, has disclosed that he has been invited by the Nigeria Police Force, Force Intelligence Department (FID) for a routine interview.

Dee one made this known in a post shared on X on Thursday, where he read out the content of the police invitation letter addressed to him.

According to the letter signed by the Commissioner of Police, Force Intelligence Department, the invitation is part of an ongoing inquiry and is described as a fact-finding interview.

The letter directed Dee one to report to the FID Annex Office, Lagos, through the OCCIOS team.

Reacting to the invitation, Dee one said he believes it may be connected to a video he posted earlier, which has generated a lot of reactions and calls from different people.

He noted that while opinions have varied, he does not regret making the video and insists that he did nothing wrong.

He stated that he would not apologise if the invitation is linked to his comments, which he described as his personal views expressed as a Nigerian citizen.

“I saw something strange that happened in Turkey involving our President, our dear President, and I shared my views as an ordinary Nigerian. If this invitation is about the video I posted yesterday, I have received many calls and heard different opinions. Some people said Dee one was cyberbullying, that I should not have mentioned the President’s son or spoken about the President.”

Dee one also addressed the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, assuring him that he would honour the invitation.

He said he would report to the police office on Monday and promised to keep Nigerians informed about developments surrounding the invitation.
