Self-proclaimed prophet Ebuka Obi of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach has been caught in yet another fake testimony controversy. This comes after previous accusations in 2023, when he allegedly staged a miracle with the late veteran actor John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu.
At the time, Ebuka claimed to have healed Mr. Ibu, who later passed away on March 2, 2024, after battling an illness that led to seven surgeries and leg amputation.
In a new viral video, a woman who testified at Zion Ministry about buying a ₦500 million mansion was interrogated and later admitted that her testimony was staged.

The woman originally claimed that she went from having just ₦300,000 worth of goods in her shop to owning a ₦500 million mansion in Lekki, Lagos.
“Zion is the best, this is the last bus stop, I have my evidence here,” she boasted while presenting a supposed proof of ownership of the mansion.
Prophet Ebuka encouraged the congregation to “claim the prophecy”, further convincing his followers to believe in his miracles.
However, investigations revealed that the house does not belong to the woman, and the real owner reportedly had her arrested for falsely claiming ownership.

Blogger Detained for Calling Out Ebuka Obi
In March 2024, the Nigeria Police Force arrested a blogger, Mr. Chizorom Harrison Ofoegbu, popularly known as Ijele Speaks II, after he publicly accused Prophet Ebuka of deception.
Ijele had labeled Ebuka’s miracles as fraudulent, urging the police to take action against him. His viral post accused Ebuka of using religion as a business enterprise and influencing politics for financial gain.
Following this, the police invited Ijele for questioning, citing allegations of:
1. Criminal intimidation
2. Threat to life
3. Cyberstalking and bullying
4. Conduct likely to breach public peace
These offenses reportedly violated Nigeria’s Cybercrimes Act (2015) and the Criminal Code Act.
In June 2024, the Federal High Court in Lagos granted Ijele bail, as ruled by Justice Akintayo Aluko.
This latest fake testimony scandal further raises questions about Prophet Ebuka Obi’s credibility, following multiple allegations of staged miracles and financial exploitation of church members.
