Enugu, Nigeria – Helen Loveth, a Nigerian woman who previously testified at Evangelist Ebuka Obi’s Zion Ministry about acquiring a N500 million mansion through divine intervention, has confessed to lying about the property. Her admission comes after a video surfaced online showing her selling drinks in Enugu, sparking widespread controversy and skepticism about her earlier claims.
Loveth had initially claimed that divine intervention enabled her to purchase a luxurious five-bedroom mansion. However, her story unraveled when she was confronted by individuals who questioned her about the property. In the video, Loveth appeared visibly shaken and admitted that the house was not yet hers.
Following her arrest by the police, Loveth clarified her statements, explaining that she gave the testimony as an act of faith while she was in the process of purchasing the house. “I did not build the house. We’re in the process of buying it. I have checked it, and the agent said we should go and meet the landlord. It is not mine yet. I don’t own any house,” she said.

She further revealed that she had planned to pay for the property in instalments but could not provide the address of the house, raising more doubts about her claims. “I don’t own it yet. I wanted to pay in instalments,” she added.
The incident has drawn significant attention on social media, with many criticizing Loveth for misleading the public and using her testimony to gain undue attention.
Evangelist Ebuka Obi, the founder of Zion Ministry, has since distanced himself from the matter, stating that he had no prior knowledge of Loveth’s claims.
The controversy has sparked discussions about the authenticity of testimonies in religious settings and the pressure individuals may feel to present exaggerated stories of success or divine intervention. As the situation unfolds, Loveth’s case serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of making false claims in public forums.
