A man has caused a stir at a local church after confronting a pastor over a bunch of plantain his wife had gifted.
The unusual incident took place during a service, drawing attention from congregants who watched as the husband demanded the return of the item.

The dispute arose because the plantain, considered a family resource, was given without the husband’s consent.
The incident quickly made rounds on social media, where users expressed amusement, disbelief, and debate about marital dynamics.
Some argued the husband overreacted, while others supported him, claiming spouses should discuss gifts or contributions before offering them to third parties.
