A prediction by influential Nigerian TV evangelist TB Joshua that Hillary Clinton would win the US presidential election has been removed from his Facebook account.
Mr Joshua told his congregation on Sunday that he “saw” a woman winning.
After Donald Trump convincingly won Tuesday’s vote, visitors to the preacher’s Facebook page noticed the prophecy had been removed.
The wealthy pastor is known as “the prophet” to his many followers.
He is one of Nigeria’s best-known and influential evangelists – and is popular across Africa, with many top politicians among his flock.
The US election prediction was broadcast on Mr Joshua’s TV channel Emmanuel TV, which an individual uploaded to YouTube.
A section of that “prophecy” was posted on the preacher’s Facebook page but is no longer available.
“Ten days ago I saw the president of America with a narrow win… What I frankly saw was a woman,” it said.
Earlier this year, President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika branded the man of God as fake prophet for prophesizing of his death.
“Let me tell you, Joshua… you will fail. What you did in 2012 will not happen again this year,” the president told a rally in the capital Lilongwe.
In 2012, Joshua reportedly predicted the death of a president of an unnamed southern African country. Mutharika’s brother, Bingu, who was president at the time, did die within the predicted timeframe, giving the prophesy strong currency in Malawi.
But Mutharika stressed that TB Joshua is “a liar” who “just wants to raise money.”
Meanwhile debate continues over TB Joshua’s false prophecy on social media with others trashing the man of God for deleting the post.
