False Claims: Court Grants Bail to Woman Who Gave Fake Testimony

A 32-year-old woman, Loveth Helen Alo, has been granted bail following her arrest for falsely claiming ownership of a five-bedroom duplex located at WTC Estate, Enugu State, during a testimony at Zion Prayer Ministry Movement Outreach in Lagos, Nigeria.

Loveth, who was arraigned on March 11, was arrested on February 1, 2025, and was seen in a viral video testifying at a Zion Ministry program, claiming that God had blessed her with the acquisition of the said property. Footage of the building was displayed in the church during her testimony.

Acting on a written petition against her, the detectives from the Enugu State Police Command, attached to the Legal Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), arrested her.

The suspect, in another viral video, allegedly stated that she had purchased the house for two hundred million Naira (N200,000,000.00).

According to SP Daniel Ndukwe, the Spokesperson of the Command, the suspect confessed to the crime, admitting that she acted alone.

She was arraigned today, March 11, 2025, before the Enugu North Magisterial District Court on a five-count charge, including obtaining by false pretence with intent to defraud, defamation of character, and attempting to commit a felony by trying to sell the property.

The case was adjourned to April 9, 2025, for further hearing.
