Loveth Alo Helen, a 34-year-old woman, was arraigned at the Enugu North Magisterial Court on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, on four charges: defamation, conspiracy, felony, and
false pretence. Helen is accused of making a false claim that she had purchased a five-bedroom duplex after receiving prayers from Evangelist Ebuka Obi of the Zion Prayer Ministry.
The charge comes from Helen’s false representation that she owned a property located at Plot 16 WTC Estate, Enugu, which is actually owned by Arch. Emmanuel Asogwa. Helen reportedly
presented herself as the owner of the house with intent to defraud.
In court, Helen pleaded not guilty to all charges. Magistrate S.O. Chukwuani granted her bail set at one million naira, with the condition that she provide a surety who has a tax clearance for at least three years. The matter was adjourned to April 9, 2025, for further hearing.
Helen’s defence counsel, Charles Nwodo, moved the motion for bail, which was not opposed by the police prosecutor. After her arraignment, Helen spoke with newsmen, explaining that she made the false testimony out of faith, believing that the house would eventually be hers. She denied any prior arrangement with others or that she had received money from anyone for the claim.
"I did the testimony claiming that I will get it. Nobody arranged anything with me, and I did not collect anything from anybody," Helen explained. She mentioned that she had visited the property for inspection and was in the process of acquiring it when she made the statement
