A video capturing Pastor Jerry Eze's arrival at the grand dedication ceremony of Pastor David Ibiyeomie's 120,000-capacity church auditorium has stirred significant conversation online, though not for the reasons one might expect.
The footage, shared on Facebook on Friday, November 6, 2026, quickly went viral online. While the dedication itself was a landmark moment in Nigeria's Christian community, it was a split-second action by one of Pastor Jerry Eze's protocol officers that became the talking point.

In the clip, a man dropped to his knees in a show of reverence as the founder of Streams of Joy International walked past. Pastor Eze briefly acknowledged the gesture. However, a member of his security and protocol team's action towards the man drew immediate criticism from viewers who felt it was unnecessarily aggressive and disrespectful.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that Pastor Jerry Eze had made headlines over how he greeted Bishop Oyedepo, Paul Eneche and other clerics.
