A man on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a striking account of how members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) allegedly distributed food to prevent people from protesting against Nigeria’s economic challenges.
In his post, the man claimed that church officials handed out garri to residents in an effort to discourage them from taking to the streets to voice frustrations over rising living costs and economic hardship. He suggested that the gesture was aimed at pacifying the public rather than addressing the underlying issues affecting livelihoods.
The tweet has since sparked debates online, with users questioning whether the act was a genuine act of charity or an attempt to curb public dissent. Analysts say the story highlights the growing tensions in communities grappling with inflation, unemployment, and limited economic opportunities.
RCCG has not officially commented on the claims as of the time of reporting.
