A prediction by influential Nigerian TV evangelist TB Joshua that Hillary Clinton would win the US presidential election has been removed from his Facebook account.
After Donald Trump convincingly won Tuesday's vote, visitors to the preacher's Facebook page noticed the prophecy had been removed.
The wealthy pastor is known as "the prophet" to his many followers.
He is one of Nigeria's best-known and influential evangelists - and is popular across Africa, with many top politicians among his flock.
Clive Mashiri from South Africa asked: "Why was the prophecy deleted? If this was uttered by the man of God, why remove it?"
Though some have defended him.
"I will always believe in your prophesies, through thick and thin," said South African Gugu Mathonsi.
Many people believe TB Joshua has supernatural powers, which include healing and prophecy.
Ghana's late President John Atta Mills said in a speech at tb joshuas thanksgiving serviceafter winning an election in 2008 that he had consulted the preacher through his campaign.
Tanzanian President John Magufuli and Malawi's former leader Joyce Banda have also paid homage to him in the past.
