A 32-year-old woman named Loveth Alo Helen has been brought before an Enugu Magistrate Court, facing charges for allegedly providing false testimony during a session of Prophet Ebuka Obi’s Zion Prayer Movement in Lagos.
In a widely circulated video, Helen claimed that she had received divine blessings that enabled her to acquire a property. During her testimony, footage of the building was shown in the church, and in another viral clip, she purportedly asserted that she purchased the house for N200 million.
On Tuesday, she appeared before the Magistrate Court in the Enugu North Magistrate District, under the jurisdiction of S.O. Chukwuani, where she faced a four-count indictment. The charges included obtaining by false pretenses with the intent to defraud, defamation of character, and an attempt to commit a felony by attempting to sell the property.
Helen was accused of falsely claiming ownership of a five-bedroom duplex situated at Plot 16, WTC Estate, Enugu, which actually belongs to Architect Emmanuel Asogwa. After the charges were presented, she entered a plea of not guilty. The magistrate set her bail at N1 million, requiring a surety to provide three years’ worth of tax clearance.
The case, designated as MEN/112C/25, involves the Commissioner of Police and Loveth Alo Helen, and has been adjourned until April 9, 2025, for further proceedings.
Following her arraignment, Helen spoke to reporters, asserting that she had not conspired with anyone regarding her testimony and had not received any compensation from anyone. She emphasized that her actions were based on faith, with the hope of eventually acquiring the property.
“I gave the testimony with the belief that I would obtain it; no one coordinated anything with me, and I did not receive anything from anyone,” she remarked.
She further explained that prior to her testimony, she had inspected the house, stating, “We are in the process of acquiring it, and I informed them that I was coming.”
