Nigerian prophet who said Mugabe would die barred from Zimbabwe

Security agents in Zimbabwe have allegedly detained two Nigerian pastors and blocked their leader, Chris Okafor – who last year prophesied President Robert Mugabe’s death – from entering the country, reports said today, reports Zimbabwean News Day.
Okafor, the leader of the Liberation City World Outreach Ministries, reportedly said in October last year that Zimbabwe would have a new president by March this year.
The prophecy may not have been well-received by Zimbabwean authorities, News Day reported.

Okafor is not the only “man of God” who has prophesied Mugabe’s death over the past few years. In January, a controversial but hugely popular Malawian prophet, Austin Liabunya, predicted the supposed impending demise of Mugabe.
A Malawi publication, the Maravi Post, reported at the time that Liabunya had predicted, during a New Year’s Day service, that Mugabe would pass away this year.
This was not the first time the maverick prophet had forecast the end of Mugabe.
Taken for questioning
Mugabe’s death prophecies reportedly leave a bad taste in the mouths of friends and foes of Zimbabwe’s strongman.
