Founding pastor of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Joshua, has claimed to have predicted almost a year ago, the deadly attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine office in Paris, France which took place on Wednesday, January 7.

A massacre on Wednesday, January 7 by suspected Al-Qaeda terrorists left 12 people dead including the editor of the magazine, three cartoonists and the deputy chief editor of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, making it France's deadliest attack in 20 years.

In a three-minute video dated Sunday April 20, 2014, the popular televangelist is seen telling his congregation, “In a French country, this is France, I’m seeing an attack.” “There will be an attack there. They should take note of Wednesday and Thursday,” he continues.

The clip uploaded to SCOAN's YouTube channel, Emmanuel TV, prophet Joshua is also seen speaking to his members the following Sunday, April 27, 2014. He said: "These people are still in the town, I was saying last week in Paris; that was the location I saw last week.”

“We pray that God would strengthen all the family, friends and colleagues of those who lost their lives during the horrific terrorist attack,” the message on the Emmanuel TV clip concluded.

Prophet Joshua also claimed to have predicted the crash of AirAsia Flight 8501 in Indonesia, which occurred on December 28, 2014.
