Evangelist Accused of Charging ₦20,000 for ‘Prayer Garment’ Sparks Public Outcry!
Reported by Mustapha Labake Omowumi (Journalist)| Sele Media Africa
A Nigerian evangelist has come under intense public scrutiny following allegations that members of his ministry were asked to pay ₦20,000 to wear a pastor’s clothing item purportedly linked to “answered prayers.”
The development, which has stirred debate across social and religious circles, reportedly involves congregants being invited to participate in a faith-based exercise in which the garment was presented as spiritually symbolic. Critics, however, have questioned the practice, raising concerns about ethics, transparency, and the commercialization of religious activities.
Mixed Reactions from Faith Community
While some supporters of the cleric have defended the initiative as a voluntary act of faith, others including religious commentators have expressed worry about the growing trend of monetized spiritual interventions within parts of Nigeria’s worship landscape.
Observers note that similar controversies in recent years have prompted broader conversations about accountability and consumer protection within faith-based organizations.
Calls for Oversight and Responsible Worship
Religious analysts and civil society voices are urging worshippers to exercise discernment and encouraging regulatory bodies to strengthen oversight where financial transactions intersect with religious claims.
As of press time, there has been no verified official response from the evangelist at the center of the allegations. The situation continues to generate widespread discussion online and within church communities.
Sele Media Africa will monitor developments and provide updates as more verified information becomes available.
