Following the incident, she stated in an online viral video:
“I told Ghanaians I’d give cash to church members to invest in their businesses and that anyone in need should come. To benefit from this gesture, you must first join the church.

“In every church we have offertory, I am the only one who does this on camera.
This was a fundraising exercise starting from 1000 Cedis to Coins,” she said in a viral video.
