Two Nigerian pastors have
been detained by Zimbabwe authorities and their leader, Chris Okafor has been
ban from entering the country.
Pastor Okafor last year
prophesied President Robert Mugabe’s death from entering the country, according
Zimbabwean News Day report.
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.
Mugabe’s death prophecies
reportedly leave a bad taste in the mouths of friends and foes of Zimbabwe’s
strongman.
According to New
Zimbabwe.com, seven members of Okafor’s church had arrived in Zimbabwe on Sunday
to prepare for the pastor’s “grand” arrival at a conference convened by local
cleric, Joseph Magorimbo.
The report said five of the
Nigerians were deported instantly on arrival and the other two, who arrived on
a different flight, were allowed into the country. The two were later taken for
questioning, as was Magorimbo.
