Former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has called for the arrest of Prophet Ebuka Obi of Zion Prayer Ministry Movement Outreach, instead of the woman who was arrested for giving a fake testimony at his church.

The woman, 32-year-old Loveth Helen Alo, was arrested and arraigned following a petition alleging that she falsely claimed ownership of a five-bedroom duplex located at WTC Estate, Enugu.

Alo claimed ownership of the property while delivering a testimony at Zion Prayer Ministry Movement Outreach in Lagos, owned by Pastor Ebuka Obi.

She was arrested by detectives from the Enugu State Police Command, attached to the Legal Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), on February 1, 2025.

According to the Spokesperson for the command, SP Daniel Ndukwe, the suspect was seen in a viral video testifying at a Zion Ministry program, claiming that God had blessed her with the acquisition of the said property.

Footage of the building was displayed in the church during her testimony. In another viral video, she allegedly stated that she had purchased the house for N200 million.

Ndukwe said, "During interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime, admitting that she acted alone. She was arraigned today, March 11, 2025, before the Enugu North Magisterial District Court on a five-count charge, including obtaining by false pretence with intent to defraud, defamation of character, and attempting to commit a felony by trying to sell the property. She was granted bail, and the case was adjourned to April 9, 2025, for further hearing."

Reacting, Sowore issued a statement condemning her arrest and arraignment while Ebuka Obi walks.

He said, "This is unfair and unjust; the person who should be arrested is the so-called "Prophet" Ebuka Obi, who has consistently given false prophecies, scammed many unsuspecting church members and falsely obtained funds from the public with his fake miracles. If anyone knows this lady, please let me know how we can help."
