Helen Loveth, a Nigerian woman who went viral for claiming she acquired a ₦500 million mansion through divine intervention at Evangelist Ebuka Obi’s Zion Ministry, has admitted that her testimony was false.

Over the weekend, social media erupted when Loveth was spotted selling drinks in Enugu, raising questions about her earlier testimony. A viral video of people confronting her sparked controversy, prompting Prophet Ebuka Obi to publicly distance himself from her claims, stating he had no prior knowledge of her or her testimony.

During questioning, Loveth initially explained that she had given the testimony "as an act of faith" because she was in the process of purchasing the property. However, after being arrested by the police, she made a full confession.

“I did not build the house. We’re in the process of buying it. I 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 admitted.

When asked for the address of the luxury five-bedroom mansion, Loveth was unable to provide one. She further clarified, “I don’t own it yet. I wanted to pay in instalments.”

Her confession has sparked heated discussions online about the pressure to showcase wealth and the rise of exaggerated testimonies in religious spaces.
