The Nigerian police have arrested a woman identified as Loveth Alo for giving a false testimony at the Zion Prayer Movement Church, led by self-proclaimed Prophet Ebuka Obi.
Loveth had claimed during a church service that she had purchased a ₦300 million mansion, but her deception was exposed by Roboconsult, a real estate firm.
How the Fake Testimony Unraveled
During police interrogation, Loveth admitted that she neither owned nor paid for the mansion.
A staff member of Roboconsult, Adedokun Olabisi, narrated how Loveth gained access to the property and falsely claimed ownership.
“She came with her agent and a prospective buyer, claiming she knew someone interested in purchasing the building. We allowed her to inspect the property.”
According to Olabisi, during the inspection, Loveth requested a private moment with the supposed buyer.
“We permitted her to speak privately for a few minutes. Unknown to us, she recorded a video of herself, falsely claiming that she had already paid ₦200 million for the mansion and would soon complete the remaining balance.”
In the viral video, Loveth declared:
“I got this one. The house is two, but this is the one I chose. I have paid ₦200 million, and I will complete the balance in installments. The house costs ₦300 million.”
Confrontation and Arrest
When confronted over her false testimony at Zion Prayer Movement Church, Loveth admitted that the house was not hers.
“We are in the process of buying the house. I have inspected everything, but it is not mine yet,” she confessed.
Roboconsult later verified her identity and confirmed that she was the same person in the viral video claiming ownership of the mansion.
The company’s legal counsel, Barrister C.P. Ogdo, confirmed that the property is still available for sale and has not been purchased by Loveth or anyone else.
“The house still belongs to our client, Roboconsult Nigeria Limited. The woman is now in police custody and will be prosecuted accordingly. Those involved in misleading the public will also face legal action.”
Roboconsult also released a disclaimer on their Facebook page, stating that Loveth’s claims were false, fraudulent, and misleading.
Prophet Ebuka Obi’s Alleged History of Fake Testimonies
This incident adds to the controversial reputation of Prophet Ebuka Obi, who has previously been accused of staging fake miracles.
In 2023, he was linked to a staged miracle involving the late veteran actor John Okafor (Mr. Ibu). The pastor had claimed to miraculously heal Mr. Ibu, who later died on March 2, 2024, after undergoing seven surgeries and a leg amputation.
With Loveth’s arrest, police investigations are ongoing to uncover the full extent of the fraudulent testimony and any possible involvement of the church in the scheme.
