“I Prayed for Her Visa” – Nigerian Pastor Demands $1,000 From Member, Threatens To Pray for Deportation

A Nigerian pastor has sparked outrage on social media after allegedly demanding $1,000 from a female church member, threatening that her daughter could be deported if the money was not sent within seven days.

The pastor claimed he was the reason the woman’s daughter, who relocated to Australia two years ago, was able to secure her visa. He further accused the family of showing ingratitude by buying property abroad without first appreciating him.

Pastor Issues Ultimatum

During a recent ministration, the pastor reportedly revealed that the woman’s daughter was facing challenges concerning land ownership in Australia. After she confirmed the issue, he insisted on speaking to the daughter directly and demanded $1,000 be transferred to his account before the end of the week.

According to him, only his prayers could resolve her property problem and ensure her stay abroad remained secure.

In his own words, he said:

“She dey buy land, she no buy for me — me wey pray?”

He warned that failure to comply would result in him praying for her deportation back to Nigeria.
