The story came to light in a viral video circulating on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In the video, the pastor and his wife were interviewed by a man who had helped facilitate the fundraising effort through his network. He explained that generous donations had amounted to ₦5 million to support the surgery, but when pressed, the pastor’s wife admitted that the funds were gone and the surgery had not been carried out.

The shocking revelation sparked outrage online, with many viewers expressing their disappointment and demanding accountability. Some reactions included:

@adeniyishipson: “They spent the money, hoping for a miracle.”

@popsytiana: “Something is seriously wrong with them.”

@dabonelesshuman: “They need a full investigation. There’s something they’re hiding, or maybe they think people will donate more if they claim they’ve spent it all.”

@Jonneto2: “I don’t believe they’ve spent all the money. Investigate further.”

@tittataiwo: “They look like they’ve misused the funds on something other than the child’s health. Maybe for their church or business.”

@afolagbenga: “I suspect they might have handed the money over to some spiritual leader who promised to heal the child.”

@CFCGbemi: “It wouldn’t surprise me if they used the money to build a house.”

@Iamchibyk: “Squandered in two months while believing for a miracle.”

@mosopeSZN: “Such a shame. This is a true reflection of how we are led.”

@ruleyourspace: “If there’s any future fundraising, it must be direct to an account in the child’s name, with trustees who aren’t connected to the family and sworn to transparency. Payments should go straight to the hospital.”

@Jdadi_: “The woman seems to be at the center of this spending. There’s no sign of lavish spending, so where did the money go? An investigation is necessary.”

The case has raised serious questions about how donations are managed, leading to calls for more transparency in handling funds raised for medical causes. ...Read Full Article >>➤
