How I Escaped a Manipulative Spiritual Group: Fashion Designer Ejiro’s Testimony

Ejiro, a successful fashion designer, went silent after joining a spiritual ministry. Her family launched #WhereIsEjiro to demand her release. She now says a prophetic message led her to believe God wanted to use her to redeem her family. While under the group’s influence, she sold all her possessions and was isolated from friends and relatives. She wore rags and even believed claims that her mother was a witch. A designated “handler” monitored her thoughts, using supposed messages from the Holy Spirit to keep her under control. Determined to break free, Ejiro joined an online prayer fellowship and rebuilt her strength. She marked her new beginning on July 7, 2025, and over one year has restored her business. Between March and now, she says she earned ₦83 million. She shared her full account at a church service on July 5, 2026.
