Evangelist Ebuka Obi, founder of Zion Ministry, has responded to the recent controversy surrounding a false testimony delivered by a woman who claimed to have acquired a ₦500 million mansion. The incident gained traction after a video of her testimony went viral, leading to investigations that revealed inconsistencies in her claims.
In a statement made during a recent Sunday service, Pastor Obi clarified that the church did not solicit the woman’s testimony and expressed concern that the event was part of a coordinated effort to tarnish his ministry’s reputation. “We didn’t ask her to come and testify. She must reveal who her sponsors are,” he urged, calling for transparency regarding those who may have influenced her actions.
The pastor emphasized that the woman’s claims were unfounded, stating, “If the house she claimed to own is fake, then it is her who lied before God and His altar — not the ministry.” He condemned the situation as a calculated smear campaign designed to discredit Zion Ministry.
Pastor Obi also assured the public that the church would fully cooperate with any investigation aimed at uncovering the truth behind the scandal. He urged the congregation and the community to disregard the negative narratives being circulated, describing them as orchestrated efforts to mislead the public.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity in testimonies shared within the church. As believers, it is crucial to uphold the values of honesty and accountability in our declarations of faith.
