Loveth Helen Alo was arraigned before a magistrate court in Enugu State on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, for allegedly presenting a fake testimony about owning a five-bedroom duplex at WTC Estate, Enugu. The charges stem from a petition accusing her of falsely claiming the property during a Zion Ministry program in Lagos.
A viral video showed Loveth Alo testifying at the Zion Prayer Ministry Movement Outreach, where she claimed that God had blessed her with the acquisition of the property. She also stated that she had purchased the house for N200 million. However, during investigation, the police discovered that the property in question belonged to Arch. Emmanuel Asogwa, and Alo had falsely presented it as her own.
The Enugu State Police Command arrested her on February 1, 2025, and following questioning, she confessed to the crime, admitting that she acted alone. She was charged with five counts, including obtaining by false pretenses, defamation of character, and attempting to commit a felony by attempting to sell the property.
The charges were read before Magistrate S.O. Chukwuani, and Alo pleaded not guilty. The magistrate granted her bail in the amount of one million naira, with a surety who must provide three years of tax clearance. The case was adjourned until April 9, 2025, for hearing.
After her arraignment, Alo explained to journalists that her actions were not pre-arranged with anyone, stating that she made the testimony as an act of faith, hoping to eventually acquire the property. She also denied receiving any money or making any arrangements with others regarding the property.
As of the latest update, she had not yet met the bail conditions set by the court.
