A Nigerian woman, Helen Loveth, who testified about acquiring a N500 million mansion at Evangelist Ebuka Obi’s Zion Ministry, has revealed why she lied.
Loveth had claimed that divine intervention enabled her to purchase the luxury five-bedroom property.
Social media erupted over the weekend after she was spotted selling drinks in Enugu.
A video showing people confronting her sparked controversy online, prompting Prophet Ebuka Obi to publicly distance himself, stating that he had no knowledge of the woman.
The Enugu-based woman, who appeared visibly shaken during questioning, said she gave the testimony as an act of faith because she was in the process of purchasing the house.
However, speaking after her arrest by the police, she said, “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.”
Loveth, who could not provide the house address, added, “I don’t own it yet. I wanted to pay in instalments.”
