Following the tragic helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region that claimed eight lives, including two cabinet ministers, two separate prophetic warnings by controversial Ghanaian preacher Prophet Jedidia Henry Kore, popularly known as Prophet Fire Oja (also referred to in some circles as Prophet Roja), have resurfaced online—triggering widespread discussion and mixed reactions among Ghanaians.
In one viral video originally shared on his official TikTok page, Fire Oja is seen speaking to a large congregation during a church service on April 11, 2025, claiming he had received a divine vision of an impending military aviation disaster. During the service, he singled out a member of the Ghana Armed Forces present in the crowd, warning him not to board a helicopter for a national assignment.
According to the preacher, he foresaw the soldier’s involvement in a crash and strongly advised him to decline the assignment, even if it meant losing his job. “I saw fire, I saw sorrow. If you’re listening to me and you're in the military, refuse the flight. It’s a matter of life and death,” he told his congregation. The resurfacing of the video following the crash has raised questions about divine warnings, fate, and whether the tragedy could have been averted.
Adding to the conversation is another video from an interview with Angel TV, where the same preacher—referred to as Prophet Roja—spoke about a separate prophecy regarding a domestic flight crash between Accra and Kumasi. He claimed God revealed the vision earlier in 2025 and gave a specific warning about July 29, 2025. He described the prophecy as conditional, urging Christians nationwide to pray to prevent the tragedy. He predicted that, if it occurred, fewer than 25 people would survive. That crash did not occur, leading many to believe the warning may have led to successful intercessory prayers.
Prophet Roja has a track record of delivering predictions that have stirred public attention. Earlier this year, he correctly prophesied the death of Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, the Mamponghene, which was later confirmed on April 28, 2025.
While some Ghanaians consider these prophecies divine revelations, others remain skeptical, questioning their authenticity and the timing of their dissemination. Regardless of public opinion, the videos have reignited national conversations about prophecy, preparedness, and the power of prayer in times of crisis.
