A widow couldn't hold back her tears as she kept saying that her benefactor is now gone. Crying uncontrollably, she said she is a widow that was being fed by Prophet Joshua.
Another woman could be heard saying the prophet is not dead, adding that he can't leave the surface of the earth in 10 years' time, not even in 20 years.
Others who were present at the church sang worship songs as the mourning continued.
