Controversial and self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri has been exposed as a fake prophet.

This comes after video footage of him dated Sunday 6th November 2016 surfaced online.

In the now-viral footage,  the self-proclaimed man of God prophesied on a young politician from the Benin Republic.  Bushiri prophesied on Daniel Edah and told him that he was going to be the next president of the Benin Republic in the elections which were scheduled for April 2021.

“This man God tells me to anoint him, for he will become a president…” he said.

“Am seeing you a president. I am saying this in front of everyone, the whole world is watching this prophecy, so that when it comes to pass, they will know, it was not a man’s doing, you being the president of the Republic of Benin.”

Bushiri can be seen anointing Edah with oil which he claimed was oil which is used to anoint kings and presidents. Bushiri added that Edah was the first person to get anointed by that oil. He gave him the oil and instructed him to put it on himself every time he goes for a campaign.

In the video, Bushiri can be heard instructing his congregants to write down his prophecy. Unprovoked, Bushiri boldly claimed that if his prophecy doesn’t come to pass people should stone him because he is a fake prophet.

“Everyone write it down- whether we have got this media, fake media or false media. Let them write down my prophecy and let us see if it will not happen. If this prophecy will not happen, I AM A Fake PROPHET! Come and stone!

However, 5 years down the line, the prophecy did not come to pass.  Edah failed to get the required number of sponsors necessary for candidacy resulting in him getting dropped from the race.

The election was won by President Patrice Talon.
