A lady, Loveth Alo Helen, who allegedly made a false testimony of buying a duplex after prayers by Evangelist Ebuka Obi of the Zion Prayer Ministry, was on Tuesday arraigned at the Enugu North Magisterial Court on four counts of defamation, conspiracy, felony, and false pretence.
The 34-year-old lady was accused of false pretence with intent to defraud and presenting herself as the owner of a five-bedroom duplex situated at Plot 16 WTC Estate, Enugu, belonging to one Arch. Emmanuel Asogwa.
She, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail of one million naira and a person with three years’ tax clearance by Magistrate S.O. Chukwuani.
Helen’s defense counsel, Charles Nwodo, moved a motion for her bail, which was not opposed by the police prosecutor before the Magistrate, who granted her bail and fixed the continuation of the matter for April 9th, 2025.
Helen, who spoke with newsmen, said that she made the false prophecy believing that, with faith, she would have such a house, adding that she did not arrange or discuss the testimony with anybody nor collect anything from anybody.
The charge read in part: “That you, Loveth Alo Helen, on the 26th day of February, 2025, at Plot 16 WTC Estate, Enugu, in Enugu North Magisterial District, did by false pretence and with intent to defraud, present yourself as the owner of a five (5) bedroom duplex situated at Plot 16 WTC Estate, Enugu, belonging to one Arch. Emmanuel Asogwa, and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 460 of the Criminal Code, Cap 30, Vol. II, Revised Laws of Enugu State of Nigeria, 2004.”
“I did the testimony claiming that I would get it; nobody arranged anything with me, and I did not collect anything from anybody. I went for inspection of the house and we were processing to get it, and I told them that I’m coming,” Helen said.
