“I wasn’t surprised when fire gutted my building, because between March and April I had received ten revelations foretelling exactly that. It was simply the will of God,” he stated.

“What I am saying is that if I am lying, then God should bring another fire outbreak. From March to April, God revealed to me more than ten times about the fire outbreak at my place. So, it was God’s will that the fire should come.”

“It is a three-storey building, and only the top rooms were burnt. The ground and middle floors were not affected. Imagine if someone had died, how would I have saved the person?” he added.
