Apostle Joshua Selman Prophecy: Cleric Says High-Ranking Politician Will Die Soon

Popular cleric and founder of Koinonia, Apostle Joshua Selman, has triggered wide reactions on social media after a video of his prophetic message about the imminent death of a high-ranking Nigerian politician went viral.

In the clip, which circulated widely on X (formerly Twitter) on September 27 and 28, 2026, Selman said he does not usually share such messages publicly.

“I don’t usually do this but I am seeing people gather to bury a high-ranking politician in this nation. His time is up. I am seeing him going. The reason why we announce this is so that God will comfort the family and prepare their hearts but there’s nothing that can be done. It’s time, it’s over,” Selman said in the video.

He did not mention any name, political party or timeline for the purported event, stating that the purpose of the announcement was to prepare and comfort the affected family rather than create public drama.

The video garnered tens of thousands of views within hours and was picked up by several online platforms, including Nairaland and News Express.

Reactions have been mixed. While some users treated the prophecy as a call for reflection among political leaders, others questioned its vagueness, noting that without a name or date it could not be verified.

A section of commenters politicized the clip by linking it to President Bola Tinubu, a speculation that originated from users and not from the cleric.

Supporters of the cleric, however, defended the message as a pastoral warning consistent with prophetic ministry.

As of Monday, September 29, 2026, no official confirmation or further clarification has been issued by Koinonia or Apostle Selman.
