This follows the release of audio recordings by social media pundit Verydarkman with his purported daughter, who made serious accusations against the pastor.

Pastor Chris Okafor speaks on attack against the clergy

He cited the biblical adage “strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter” to support his claim that religious leaders’ p£r$£cution eventually has an impact on followers.

Chris Okafor says attack on pastors, attack on members

The cleric emphasizes that prophets are placed among people for guidance and support and claims that att@c-ks on pastors amount to att@-cks on the blessings and spiritual support of church members.

He insisted that there are spiritual repercussions for the larger congregation when a pastor who he described as “genuinely innocent” is p€√$ecuted.

The pastor said in part …

“When you see a person att@cking a man of God, that person is not just a human being, that person is a dem0n on assignment. When you strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter. It is not just about the shepherd. It is also about the people that the shepherd carries.

Every time you see a man of God who is genuinely innocent and they’re persecuting, it’s not just an attack on him, it’s an attack on you [church members].
