Reported by Musa Antiketu,| Journalist at Obaland magazine.
One woman wey be single mama of two, Sandra Okpara, don ask Pastor Jerry Eze church, Streams of Joy International, make dem help return N1,640,200 wey she say she mistakenly transfer enter di church account.
Sandra explain say di money no be her own and say di real owners of di money don dey ask her to return am. She also make am clear say di transfer no be church offering, but mistake wey happen while she dey send money.
Di matter come public on Saturday, September 12, 2026, after video of Sandra dey ask for help begin circulate online. According to report by The Whistler Newspaper, Sandra say she no get husband and dey take care of two children, as she appeal to di church to help her recover di money.
But contrary to di claim say di church don already refund di N1.64 million, di latest available report no confirm say Streams of Joy International don return di money.
Di church team reportedly say Sandra never contact dem directly before di video come out. Di church explain say dem dey handle cases of wrong transfer through verification process, and after dem see di video, dem contact Sandra through di phone number wey she provide.
Streams of Joy say dem dey investigate di matter to confirm whether di transfer really happen by mistake. Di church also say if investigation show say Sandra claim correct, dem go take di necessary step to resolve di matter.
Di development show why financial transfers, especially when money enter wrong account, need proper confirmation before any refund happen. For church organisations and other institutions wey dey receive plenty payments every day, verification fit help prevent wrong refunds and protect both di sender and di organisation.
For now, di main matter wey remain be whether di N1,640,200 really enter di church account and whether Sandra get right to receive di money back. Di church position, as reported, be say dem dey investigate di claim and go act if di evidence support am.
Obaland magazine therefore no go describe di money as already refunded until credible evidence or confirmation from di parties involved show say di refund don happen. Di available report as at September 12, 2026 only confirm say Sandra ask for di money back and di church don begin investigation.
