Man pays N42m tithe to Benue church

A man, whose identity has been shielded by a local church in Makurdi, Benue State, has shocked church members with a tithe offering of N42m.

Investigations by the News Agency of Nigeria revealed that the money was paid into the United Bank for Africa account of the NKST Church.

Although the resident pastor of the church, Dr. Frederick Ikyaan, initially denied knowledge of the offering, a copy of the church's quarterly financial report, covering the months of January to March 2017, confirmed the payment of N42m in tithe to the church.
