Viral video shows Nigerian pastor refusing to return N900k accidental overpayment by a church member, claiming the excess "belongs to God." Sparks outrage over the pastor's perceived fraudulent stance.
A video has gone viral on Twitter showing a Nigerian pastor insisting on keeping nearly N900,000 that was accidentally sent to his account by a church member. The clip, shared by @DamiAdenuga, shows the pastor admitting he received N1 million instead of the intended N100,000, but claims the excess money now "belongs to God."
In the video, the visibly frustrated church member can be heard saying he immediately notified the pastor about the million naira mistake, but the pastor refused to refund the N900,000 overpayment. The pastor maintains an air of confidence, stating "The online people have asked me to make it legal."
The video has sparked outrage among many Nigerians on Twitter, who condemned the pastor's stance as outright fraudulent behavior cloaked in religious rhetoric. Comments ranged from calling him a "fraudster" to criticizing pastors who flaunt wealthy lifestyles funded by their congregations.
However, some users appeared to take the pastor's side, with one commenter @BREAKOUTgOD stating: "The money now belongs to God...pastor doesn't have access to it...end of discussion."
