The interviewer asked him if he had a premonition of the incident before it occurred.
However, Dr Okoye said he was still processing all that happened, and that was why he was being careful about speaking about it.
The lecturer said:
“As much as I want to really get into this gist because it’s actually one of those talks that has been making the rounds. But I’m quite careful this time around to get into it because I’m yet to fully process everything that happened.
“As believers, there’s every tendency that before something huge happens, you’ll get the sign.”
