LAGOS, NIGERIA — The prophecy made by Evangelist Ebuka Obi on January 11, 2026, regarding attacks on the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, has reportedly come to pass. This follows the foiling of an alleged plot by an individual to bring down the ministry.
The incident occurred during a church service. A man, described as an “enemy,” came to the Zion Ground in Lagos to give a testimony. However, security operatives intercepted him.
The January Prophecy
During his New Year message on January 11, Evangelist Ebuka Obi had warned his congregation about the coming year. He prophesied that the ministry would face numerous attacks.
He said there would be lies against him and the ministry. He warned that these lies would sound like the truth.
He urged the Zionites to be prepared. He told them not to believe what the enemies were preparing.
The Foiled Plot
On Sunday, the prophecy appeared to manifest. A man entered the ministry premises under the guise of giving a testimony.
Security personnel became suspicious of his intentions. Upon searching him, they discovered he had ulterior motives.
According to a church source, the man had planned to use the testimony platform to discredit the ministry and its leader.
“The man came with a sinister plan. He wanted to cause a scene and paint the ministry in a bad light. But our security team was alert,” the source said.
Handed Over to Security Agencies
The suspect was immediately apprehended. He has since been handed over to the relevant security and law enforcement agencies for further investigation.
The church said it will cooperate fully with the authorities. It urged members to remain calm and to trust in God.
“We are a law-abiding ministry. We have handed the suspect over to the police. We will let the law take its course,” a church official stated.
Reaction from Worshippers
The incident has left many worshippers in shock. However, others said they were not surprised because of the prophecy.
“The man of God warned us. He told us this year would be full of attacks. We are not afraid. God is in control,” a member said.
The church has also called for prayers for the suspect. It said the ministry is committed to spreading the gospel of peace and love.
What This Means
The incident highlights the challenges facing religious leaders in Nigeria. Many face attacks, blackmail, and false accusations.
The Zion Prayer Movement Outreach has a large following. It has been in the spotlight for its prayer programmes and outreach initiatives.
For now, the ministry remains focused on its mission. It has assured its members of their safety.
