Islamic Cleric Makes U-Turn, Confesses Why He Made False Death Prophecy about Saheed Osupa
- Islamic cleric, Al-Waraqi Olopa Meta, had previously sworn by the Holy Qur’an and his own life that the Fuji icon had only days left to live, has bactracked
- The man claimed the prophecy could only be averted if Saheed Osupa provided a white ram for sacrifice
- In a leaked phone conversation with another cleric, Olopa Meta admitted the prophecy was a strategy to gain the musician's attention
An Islamic cleric, popularly known as Al-Waraqi Olopa Meta, has reportedly apologised following public outrage over his earlier claim that Fuji music icon Saheed Osupa would die on January 10, 2026.
The apology came during a phone conversation with another cleric, Sheikh Dr Ahmad Ishola Olanrewaju Al-Fulan, an audio of which has since gone viral across social media platforms.
Days earlier, Olopa Meta had alarmed fans after declaring that Saheed Osupa’s death had been revealed to him by God.

In his message, the cleric insisted the vision was divine, claiming he swore by the Qur’an and his own life to stand by the prophecy.
The statement quickly spread online, leaving many Fuji lovers shaken and angry. Some Nigerians openly questioned the credibility of the claim, while others described it as reckless and emotionally damaging.
Adding to the controversy, the cleric had stated that the supposed prophecy could be averted, but only if Saheed Osupa performed a specific religious sacrifice involving a white ram and engaged in intense prayers, during which the cleric’s name would be mentioned.
The narrative shifted when Sheikh Dr Ahmad Ishola Olanrewaju Al-Fulan confronted Olopa Meta during a phone call that later surfaced online.
In the recording, Al-Fulan questioned the basis of the prophecy and challenged the cleric to explain his actions.
Under pressure, Olopa Meta reportedly backed down, admitting that the declaration was not a divine revelation after all. According to him, the statement was a strategy to draw Saheed Osupa’s attention.
