Foreign media accuse Nigerian prophet of killing SuperSport United Goalkeeper Chigova with fake prophecy (video)

Foreign media are accusing a Nigerian prophet of being responsible for the death of a goalkeeper who died in his home in Johannesburg, South Africa apparently of heart failure.

The late SuperSport United goalkeeper, George Chigova had been out of action for a while following a weak heart diagnosis.

His club was delaying signing him because of that condition.

He then attended a church pastored by a Nigerian prophet who encouraged the late goalkeeper to ignore his heart condition diagnosis and go ahead to play.

George Chigova, the former Zimbabwe Warriors goalminder, passed on in his sleep at his Johannesburg home on 15 November 2023.

He had been out of football action since July when he collapsed during a training session with SuperSport United.

On Wednesday, he reportedly woke up, walked around the house and returned to sleep. When his wife went to wake him up after sleeping for too long, he was unresponsive, and paramedics declared him dead.

The video of George Chigova’s encounter with the Nigerian prophet is now trending.

In the video, the church leader picked Chigova and asked him about the contract extension at SuperSport United. Chigova then replied that they were delaying the process because they discovered that his heart was weak and irregular.

The Nigerian prophet then told Chigova that there was nothing wrong with his heart; it was just his thoughts. He alleged that the diagnosis was just people trying to make sure he did not get a new football contract.

It is speculated that the late footballer persisted with his football career despite doctors’ warnings on the strength of the advice from the prophet.
