- A pastor recently sparked controversy when he garnered media attention for categorizing a significant sum of money mistakenly transferred to him by one of his church members as a divine offering to God.
- The situation escalated when law enforcement officers intervened, paying a visit to the pastor who adamantly refused to refund the young man who accidentally sent him a whopping N1 million instead of the intended N100,000
A man has taken legal action against his pastor, leading to the pastor’s arrest, over claims that the clergyman refused to reimburse him the sum of 900,000 naira after he mistakenly sent one million naira as tithe.
In a video circulating online, the aggrieved church member is seen confronting the pastor in his residence, accompanied by police officers, and directly accusing him of withholding the funds.
The congregant explained that he intended to send the pastor 100,000 naira but inadvertently transferred a million naira. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the matter and request a refund, the pastor staunchly maintained his position, insisting on retaining the excess amount as a gift to God.
The man was heard in the video saying;
“I brought them (Police) here because of the money I mistakenly transferred into your account. I was supposed to transfer a hundred thousand Naira, but I transferred One Million Naira, and since then, I have been asking you to refund me the Nine Hundred Thousand, and you keep (SIC) on telling me, go to God and collect your money, it’s a spiritual matter.”
