A Nigerian woman identified as Sandra Okpara has cried out on social media after allegedly making an erroneous transfer of N1,640,200 to Streams of Joy International, the church founded by Pastor Jerry Eze.
In a viral video, Okpara, who described herself as a single mother of two and a believer, said she had participated in her religious activities earlier in the day before making the alleged transfer.
According to her, she initially made a transfer as an offering and, about two or three hours later, attempted to send money to her Zenith Bank account to make a payment for a voucher.
She claimed that she mistakenly transferred N1,640,200 to the church instead.
“My name is Sandra Okpara. I am a single mom of two and I believe in God. I’ve always been praying for God on NSPPD. I did my service this morning, I did my communion and I did my transfer for offering,” she said.
“Two or three hours later, I wanted to send money to my Zenith account for a voucher. I did an erroneous transfer of N1,640,200. I’m doing this video because I cannot lie.”
Okpara appealed to anyone connected to Streams of Joy International to assist her in reaching the appropriate authorities within the church, claiming that the money was not meant for her personal use.
“If you know anyone that works at Streams of Joy International, that money is not for me, it’s for people and those people are calling me out,” she added.
Streams of Joy Reacts
Streams of Joy International has since responded to the viral allegation, stating that it became aware of the claim through the video circulating online.
The church said that before the video was published, it had not received any direct communication or formal complaint from Okpara regarding the alleged transfer.
“We have become aware of this claim through the video circulating online. However, prior to its publication, we had not received any call, email, direct message or formal complaint from the individual,” the church stated.
The development has generated reactions online, with social media users calling for clarification regarding the alleged transfer and urging the parties involved to resolve the matter.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged N1,640,200 transfer have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear from the available statements what steps, if any, have been taken to trace or reverse the transaction.
