Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has once again stirred controversy with a dramatic prophecy concerning his own death.
In a now-viral clip from a recent church service cited by PUNCH Online on Monday, the Onitsha-based cleric claimed that his time on earth is coming to an end — but when he dies, no one will ever find his body.
Declaring himself the “strongest spiritual man in the world after TB Joshua,” Odumeje said his mission is not about living a long life, but about fulfilling a divine assignment. “One has completed his mission and returned home; now it’s just the Lion himself, the dead man,” he proclaimed to a stunned congregation.
He said,” I am the strongest spiritual man in the world after the general TB Joshua. We are not many, we are just two. One has done his job, and when I die, no one will see my corpse, and I do not have much time here, and our mission here is to clear the doubt of Jesus Christ, and one mission, one God and one power,” he added.
Odumeje, or “The Indaboski Bahose,” is a controversial Nigerian pastor based in Onitsha, Anambra State.
He leads the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, a church known for dramatic deliverance sessions, theatrical preaching styles, and unconventional prophecies.
His latest prophecy, where he declared that no one will see his corpse after he dies, is not entirely out of character.
Odumeje is known for blending charismatic showmanship with bold spiritual claims. Over the years, he’s built a reputation for dramatic spiritual warfare (often acting out physical “fights” with demons), making public prophecies that go viral, and claiming he possesses supernatural powers that place him above typical religious leaders.
The self-styled “Indaboski” said his mission is not longevity but to prove the supremacy of Jesus Christ.
“Our work is to clear doubts. There is only one God, one power, and that power is Jesus Christ,” he added.
The prophecy has since set social media on fire, with many Nigerians debating whether Odumeje’s claim is a revelation or theatrics.
Odumeje operates at the intersection of faith, spectacle, and controversy.
Whether viewed as a genuine prophet or a spiritual entertainer, his influence in Nigeria’s religious landscape is undeniable.
His recent prophecy about dying without leaving a trace is consistent with the dramatic, mysterious persona he has cultivated over the years. (PUNCH)
