Background: A History of Financial and Emotional Abuse

In a shocking revelation, Success Miracle shared her ordeal With us while still in captivity. She accused her husband of financial control, abuse, and manipulation, which allegedly began in 2017.

Success claimed that Prophet Miracle forbade her from opening a bank account or handling money, despite refusing to provide for her personal needs.

“We got married in 2017. Whenever we had issues, he would put me under house arrest. He didn’t allow me to have my own money or open a bank account, yet he refused to give me money,” she said.

She further alleged that the self-proclaimed prophet was acquiring properties while engaging in extramarital affairs. Attempts to seek a financial settlement were met with resistance, as he insisted that church funds could not be used for personal matters.

How the Secret Bank Account Led to Her Captivity

Desperate for financial independence, Success secretly opened an Access Bank account and started a small business selling water and other essential supplies for the ministry. With the help of some ministry staff, she managed to grow the business without her husband’s knowledge.

However, Prophet Miracle later discovered the account through one of his secretaries. According to Success, he tricked bank officials into revealing her balance by pretending he wanted to deposit ₦500 million.

After discovering the account, he accused her of theft and running an unauthorized business within the ministry. On Tuesday night, he forced her into his car and took her to a rented house in GRA, Port Harcourt, where he confiscated her phones and isolated her from the outside world.

“He told the bank he wanted to deposit ₦500 million into my account, just to make them check my balance. Then, he locked me up and threatened to sue me,” Success revealed.

Police Intervention and Prophet Miracle’s Collapse

Following public outcry and allegations that Prophet Miracle had police officers in his pocket, Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP Olugbenga Adepoju, was contacted by us.

Dismissing claims of favoritism, the commissioner swiftly ordered DPO Abacha to raid the house and rescue Success.

“I don’t know any pastor. How can I allow someone to be locked inside a house? Am I an animal? A commissioner of police won’t allow that, not even a DPO,” CP Adepoju stated.
