Woman Exposed for Fake ₦500M Mansion Testimony at Ebuka Obi’s Church
A young woman from Enugu State has sparked outrage after being exposed for allegedly fabricating a testimony at Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, led by Evangelist Ebuka Obi. She claimed to have built a ₦500 million mansion in Lekki, Lagos, but the revelation that her story was false has ignited fierce debates about the credibility of testimonies at the popular ministry.
The controversy began during a service on February 23, 2025, when the woman took the stage to share what she called a miraculous financial breakthrough. She testified that with just ₦300,000 worth of goods in her small shop, divine intervention through Zion Ministry enabled her to acquire a luxurious mansion in one of Lagos’ most affluent neighbourhoods.

Holding up photos of the grand property, she declared, “Zion is the best, the last bus stop—I have my evidence here.” Evangelist Ebuka Obi, visibly moved, encouraged the congregation, exclaiming, “Look at this mansion, built by a young lady—so what are you waiting for? Stand up and claim it!”

However, the testimony unravelled days later when a viral video surfaced on March 1, showing the woman confronted by sceptical Enugu locals. In the footage, voices demanded to know why she had “lied on God’s altar,” pressing her to admit that the mansion wasn’t hers.
Under pressure, she reportedly confessed that the story was staged, though she has yet to issue an official statement. Sources claim the property actually belongs to a prominent Lagos businessman, who has since threatened legal action against her for falsely claiming ownership.
The backlash was swift. Social media platforms erupted with criticism, with many questioning the authenticity of church testimonies. “Enugu lady exposed for lying about a ₦500m Lekki mansion—everything about these testimonies is propaganda,” one post read, reflecting widespread scepticism. Others defended Evangelist Obi, arguing that the blame lay with the woman, not the ministry. “Ebuka can’t verify every story—people need to stop blaming the church,” a supporter countered.
As of 12:46 PM WAT today, Evangelist Ebuka Obi has not issued an official response. Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, known for its fervent prayer sessions and claims of miracles, has faced scrutiny before—most notably in 2024, when blogger Ijele Speaks II accused Obi of staging miracles, a claim that led to the blogger’s detention. This latest controversy threatens to reignite those criticisms.
Meanwhile, the true homeowner—whose identity remains undisclosed—is reportedly preparing to take legal action, while the woman’s whereabouts remain unknown.
