Mrs Ibama said she paid the money and attended the vigil with her daughter, only for the pastor to tell them that her husband was in a woman's house. She said her daughter immediately challenged the pastor to refund the money otherwise she would call him out on social media. She said that the pastor had no choice but to refund the money to them.
