2016 was notable for the insanely high number of prominent people who kicked the bucket.

Young or old, rising star or veteran, the cold hands of death struck swift and fast – from George Williams to Vybrant Faya.

As painful as 2016 was, the founder and leader of the International God’s Way Church (IGWC), Bishop Daniel Obinim, claims this year is even going to be worse.

The controversial bishop, speaking on Abusua Fm in Kumasi, said six times as many Ghanaians who died last year would die this year, prominent Ghanaians inclusive. He said this was a vision shown him by the Lord twice towards the end of last year.

“Ghana is not stable at all. Don’t believe anyone who comes to tell you that Ghana is at peace. Last year God revealed to me that this year that six times of persons who died last year will die this year. In November and December 2016 God repeated the revelation”, he said.

“MPs, Minister, Pastors and many others are those who are those who will die all the handy work of the devil. I think all we need to do is to pray in order to avert these unfortunate deaths”, Obinim said, adding the usual prophet’s caveat.
