A Nigerian pastor and his wife have come under fire for allegedly mismanaging ₦5 million donated for their daughter’s surgery. The funds, raised over two months by concerned Nigerians, were meant for an urgent medical procedure. However, in a viral video circulating on social media, the couple admitted the money had been spent, with no surgery performed.
The video features an individual who facilitated the fundraising confronting the couple. The pastor’s wife reluctantly confirmed the funds were depleted. This revelation has sparked outrage online, with many questioning the couple’s integrity and demanding an investigation.
Social media users voiced their disappointment. Some speculated the funds might have been misappropriated for personal ventures or handed to a spiritual leader promising miraculous healing. Others called for stricter measures in future fundraising efforts, suggesting donations be directed to a child-specific account managed by independent trustees.
The incident has reignited debates about accountability among religious leaders and transparency in charitable donations. Many believe this case highlights a broader issue of mismanagement within religious institutions. Some have urged the government to step in, suggesting legal action against the couple and greater oversight of donation handling.
