A pastor has been exposed for misusing over ₦5m donated by the public to fund his child’s surgery. Instead of using the funds for the intended purpose, the pastor allegedly spent the money on personal items, including a ₦700k motorbike, a ₦125k phone, and speakers for his church.
The scandal came to light after a video surfaced on social media, showing the pastor and his wife being questioned by authorities. According to reports, the couple had been arrested and their bank statement obtained, revealing the misuse of the donated funds.
The pastor’s defense was that he had used the money to buy a speaker for his church and a machine, among other items. However, his explanations have been met with widespread outrage and condemnation.
