TB Joshua's posthumous controversy

The man said the SCOAN founder cut his beard and part of his public hair, gave it to a big fish in his lake and the fish began to multiply.

The man said:

“People think the prayer mountain is where to go and pray. But there is more to that. The 16 years I spent there, we are the prayer warriors, which is the powerhouse of the ministry.
“I happened to be the leader. He would give you different assignments.
"There was one day TB Joshua came to the mountain. They caught one fish alive, very big.
“So, in my presence, TB Joshua cut his beard, cut part of the hair in his private part, he poured those things in the mouth of that fish. He said we should take it back to the River and drop it. That was how they started multiplying. When they lay eggs, they lay thousands of eggs. It’s secretive. If we are talking about spiritual power, either it is Satan or it is God.”
