<p>Separatist leaders had said they do not want AFCON matches to take place in a region “at war”.</p>
<p>The Cameroon army has deployed additional ammunition and troops to the region. The troops undertake routine day and night patrols.</p>
<p>Recall that Prophet Nigel Gaisie of the True Word Fire Prophetic Ministries had warned of a terrorist attack during the AFCON.</p>
<p>Gaisie disclosed that he foresaw terrorists detonating explosives in a stadium during the AFCON tournament.</p>
<p>Addressing his members, the Ghanaian-based prophet urged participating countries to be prayerful in averting disaster during the tournament in Cameroon.</p>
<p>According to Prophet Gaisie:<em><strong> “This is an international prophecy. The Lord carried my spirit into a place like Cameroon concerning the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“I saw something like players standing on a stretcher and they were in pain as some of them were crying.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“Let the nation Cameroon pray and any other qualified team also do same because I’m seeing something like a terrorist attack and explosive attacks.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“I’m seeing that something happened at the stadium and the whole place was in disorder and people died.”</strong></em></p>
<p>AFCON will officially begin on Sunday in the capital Yaounde and will run for four weeks.</p>
