Prophecy Roja prophesied on impending rainstorm
Meanwhile, the Ghanaian man of God, Prophet Roja, shared a disturbing prophecy about an impending rainstorm to hit Ghana.
In an interview on Angel FM on June 1, 2026, Prophet Roja disclosed that, from what he had seen, there is going to be a three-day non-stop heavy downpour.
"I am praying that God have mercy on us, because from what I am seeing ahead, there is going to be a three-day non-stop heavy downpour," he said.
"This is not the time of Noah, where I will be told I am causing fear and panic because I am not the one controlling the rains," he added.
According to the Ghanaian clergyman, the rains the nation is already experiencing are the tip of the iceberg, warning people living in flood-prone areas to move out for the sake of their safety.
"What we are already experiencing is just the surface of it. If you have the chance to move from where you are staying, move now. We would clear the gutters and others, but there will still be flooding. Do not rely on NADMO; they might not be able to help you."
Prophet Roja's prophecy has triggered widespread reactions on social media, with many sharing their opinions.
