Controversial social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has fired back at Pastor Chris Okafor following legal threats issued by the clergyman’s legal team over online allegations and viral claims. The heated exchange has now become one of the most talked-about religious controversies on social media this Christmas season.

He tagged the video where he fired back at Pastor Chris and his legal counsel, Barrister Maxwell Okpara “It’s obvious that Pastor Chris doesn’t want to have a good Christmas.”

The saga began when Pastor Chris Okafor’s lawyer, Barrister Maxwell Okpara, publicly addressed persistent online posts by VeryDarkMan and a young woman claiming to be Okafor’s biological daughter.

At a press briefing held in Owerri, the lawyer accused the duo of cyberbullying, harassment, stalking, and criminal defamation and demanded swift retraction of all allegedly false and misleading statements. According to the press release read by Okafor’s counsel, the pastor denies any paternity claims and has insisted that all online material suggesting he fathered children outside his marriage must be removed.

The legal team has called for a public apology to be published in two national newspapers, complete retraction of defamatory posts, and cessation of any insinuation of familial ties. They also challenged the young woman and her sibling to undergo a DNA test at a reputable health facility if no valid certificate exists.

In response, VeryDarkMan took to social media in a fiery video reaction dismissing Pastor Okafor’s legal threat as an attempt to intimidate him and suppress truth. In the clip, he argued that the pastor “isn’t a man of integrity as the press release stated” questioning the integrity of the accusations against him and refusing to back down. The influencer claimed he has substantial evidence to support his narrative and suggested that going to court would only fuel more public interest in the case.

VeryDarkMan also mocked the demand for a DNA test and stated confidently that he is prepared to face whatever legal action the pastor pursues. He taunted that if Okafor plans to challenge the claims in court, he is ready to escalate the controversy rather than retreat. This clash has ignited widespread debate online, with supporters of both sides weighing in across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and X.

While Okafor’s legal team frames the dispute as an effort to protect the pastor’s reputation and ministry, VeryDarkMan paints it as suppression of free speech and accountability. As the dispute unfolds, the public awaits whether either side will escalate the matter further in court or if a resolution will emerge from the intense public scrutiny.

For now, the legal confrontation between VeryDarkMan and Pastor Chris Okafor remains one of the most watched faith-related controversies trending online this festive season.
