Zimbabwe bars Nigerian pastor over 'regime fall' prophesy

Zimbabwe’s state security agents have detained two Nigerian pastors while the immigration department deported five Nigerian preachers over a sinister prophesy made by their leader, Chris Okafor, NewsDay reported. In October last year, Okafor, who is the leader of the Liberation City World Outreach Ministries, reportedly prophesied the fall of President Robert Mugabe, saying Zimbabwe would have a new leader by March this year.

Okafor, prophesied “Zimbabwe [is] to have a throne change in six months and three weeks, the new leader will be less than 50 years old and those who oppressed Zimbabwe will start dying in 30 days’ time,” NewsDay reported.

Okafor who was due in the country today has since cancelled his trip after it became apparent that he has been declared persona non grata by Zimbabwe. The security officials also reportedly detained and questioned Pastor Joseph Magorimbo, of Glory to All Nations Ministries who had invited Okafor and his team to Zimbabwe for a church conference. The prophesy which has not been fulfilled appears to have angered Mugabe's henchmen.
