Streams of Joy International, the church founded by Pastor Jerry Eze, has responded to a viral video involving a woman, identified as Sandra Okpara, who claimed that she mistakenly transferred N1,640,200 to the church while attempting to send money to her Zenith Bank account.

Okpara had appealed for assistance in recovering the money, claiming that the funds were intended for other people and that the transfer to the church was made in error.

Reacting to the development, Streams of Joy International said it became aware of the woman's claim through the video circulating on social media.

The church, however, stated that it had not received any prior communication from Okpara regarding the alleged erroneous transaction before the video was published.

According to the church, it routinely receives and resolves reports of mistaken transactions through an established verification process.

Streams of Joy therefore urged Okpara to contact the church directly through its official communication channels and provide the relevant transaction details to enable its team to investigate the matter.

The church said it remained committed to addressing genuine concerns transparently and responsibly.
In a statement posted on X, Streams of Joy said:

“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 regarding the alleged erroneous transfer.

“Streams of Joy routinely receives and resolves reports of erroneous transactions through the appropriate verification process. We therefore invite the individual to contact us directly via our official channels and provide the transaction details so the matter can be promptly investigated and resolved.

“Our team remains available and committed to addressing all genuine concerns transparently and responsibly.”

The church's response comes amid growing attention to the woman's appeal on social media over the alleged N1.64 million transfer.
