Police intervene in pastor and church member dispute over mistaken transfer
In a video that has gone viral on social media platform X, a group of police officers are seen confronting a pastor in his residence over a contentious N900,000 transfer. The incident, which has sparked widespread outrage and debate, centers around a church member’s mistaken transaction and the pastor’s refusal to return the excess funds.
The church member, whose identity has not been disclosed, mistakenly transferred N1,000,000 to the pastor instead of the intended N100,000. Upon realizing the error, the member promptly notified the pastor, requesting the return of the N900,000 surplus. However, the pastor allegedly refused to comply, asserting that the money now “belongs to God.”
The video shows police officers and the church member at the pastor’s house, demanding a refund of the excess amount. The pastor remains adamant, maintaining that the additional funds are a divine provision.
Reactions to the incident have been mixed, with many condemning the pastor’s actions as unethical and others defending his stance based on religious grounds. Legal experts have weighed in, suggesting that the pastor’s refusal to return the money could constitute a breach of trust and potentially fraud.
Local authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the outcome of the confrontation. The church involved has also remained silent, despite growing public pressure for a response.
