A video has emerged of popular Anambra state Pastor, Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje, prophesying about the Onitsha fire which occurred yesterday.
The fire had left over five persons dead including a mother mad child, after a tanker had exploded following its derailing into the market.
Odumeje had made the prediction about 4 months ago on the 21st of June, 2019, when he also asked to pray for those who were frequent travelers.
