Prophet Ebuka Obi of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach has publicly disassociated himself from a woman who claimed during a church service that she purchased a house worth ₦500 million. The incident has sparked a heated debate both within the church community and across social media platforms.
In a video that began circulating widely on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the cleric stated that he has no personal or professional relationship with the woman in question. The video shows the prophet firmly rejecting any ties with her and accusing her of lying before God and the church’s altar. He noted that while many individuals come forward with personal testimonies during church services, not all of these accounts are genuine. This particular testimony, which claimed the acquisition of an expensive property, has been called into question after further investigation and public scrutiny.
The prophet added further clarification in his statement: “I said it last month that my name would be all over the media. I said the media would be shaking, making it look real, but it’s all fake.” This remark has resonated with many followers who believe that the matter may have been manipulated for personal gain or media attention.
Observers note that the woman’s claim, which was made during a recent church gathering, quickly became a subject of online debate. Many netizens expressed their doubts about the authenticity of the testimony, while others defended the importance of sharing personal experiences in faith communities. However, the clear denial by Prophet Ebuka Obi has raised additional questions regarding the verification process for such testimonies within the church.
Local church members note that this controversy might lead to a review of how personal claims are recorded and publicized during services. Some suggest that the incident could prompt a broader discussion about accountability and honesty within religious institutions. Church elders are reportedly looking into the issue further to ensure that all testimonies shared in the future are thoroughly checked and remain true to the spirit of the church.
