A young Ghanaian Islamic cleric has given a rare spiritual insight into the missing Malaysian airliner, decrypting what has defied all efforts at resolving, many weeks after the air�craft went missing. All the passengers onboard the ill-fated flight, he said, were dead. Speaking to Daily Guide, Shamu-na Ustaz Jibril, a native of Bawku in the Upper East Region, listed the names of the passengers onboard the ill-fated flight, details which he claimed came to him spiritually. The long list included such names as Mohammed Mustapha Ahmed who he said boarded the aircraft from board�ing gate 'A at the Kuala Lumpur Air�port, Abdul Aziz Bin Abdalla, boarding gate Cll-17, Mohammed Nasir, Zhangke Jia, Woo-ping Yen, Shanbo Qin, Jingchin Zhang among others. According to him, he received the details spiritually in Arabic and there could be small margins of error in his spellings of the names given the alpha�betical and phonetical differences between Mandarin and Arabic. About the pilot, he said, "He had a fight with his wife before going to the airport for the flight. His close friend was jailed a day or two before the flight. Spiritually he had a dream and saw a snake attacking him and so when he was airborne he was thinking about the dream and lost focus into the flight." On whether the aircraft would ever be traced, he was affirmative, stating that "it can be found 45 days from today (last Saturday 26th April 2014). Searchers should however be serious on 29th April and 6th June. The rest is in the hands of God." In the event that the aircraft is not found on the aforemen�tioned dates, it would never be found again. He went on to state that the flight data box, the black box is lodged in the North West of Australia, around Whar�ton Basin, adding that the luggage and the human remains can be found in the Perth Basin. Aged 36, the cleric said, "I am an Hafeez, a person who has memorized the Holy Quran, but in my case, I did not study the scriptures as others did. Nobody taught me. The scriptures just came to me spiritually. I also have an unusual numeracy features. I am on Youtube with a large following." He uses astrology as contained in the Islamic scriptures for his interpreta�tions of issues, especially dreams, applying one of the chapters in the Holy Quran - Suratul Buruj. He has been hosted by Amin Lamptey on Metro TV.
