“But everything that was said is not true. Everything—take note—everything that was said was not true. There are so many lies in most of the things that were said,” he stated.
Despite this, the preacher addressed Ogala and others whom he said he had offended. “Be that as it may, I say I am sorry to everyone I have offended. To Doris Ogala, I also say sorry,” Okafor said.

He stated that he was willing to make amends.

“And I apologise to everyone that I have offended. And once again, I repeat: I’m ready to make restitution to anyone,” he said.

The cleric went on to explain his apology as both personal and public.

“And anybody, any lady, anywhere, or man I have offended, I am sorry. Forgive me. I am not perfect. I’ve never been perfect,” he said, adding, “I’m kneeling down before everyone. And before the church.”

The pastor admitted his flaws and asked the church and the public for forgiveness and prayers, stating that he had experienced a "new beginning" thanks to the influence of senior Christian leaders he referred to as "fathers of faith."

“I’m kneeling down before everyone and before the church. Forgive me. You can judge me. Pray for me,” he added.

The apology comes against the backdrop of Ogala’s dramatic arrest and release, as previously reported by Legit.ng.
