In a surprising turn of events, a pastor has come under fire for refusing to return N900,000 that was mistakenly transferred into his account by a church member. The member had intended to donate N100,000 but inadvertently sent N1,000,000 instead.
Upon realizing the error, the church member immediately contacted the pastor, anticipating a swift return of the excess amount. However, the pastor’s response was unexpected and controversial. According to the member, the pastor claimed that the N900,000 surplus was a divine provision and should be regarded as belonging to God.
This incident has sparked widespread debate and criticism within the church community and beyond, raising questions about the ethical responsibilities of religious leaders in handling financial mistakes.
