The preacher in an interview in 2017 detailed his story, including how he lost his fingers. He said:

“Of all the battles in life, the spiritual battle is easily the most significant. It is always said that before anything of worth happens in the physical, it must be settled in the spiritual. It happened in the spiritual realm but sacrificed my fingers for it.

“At age 20, something significant happened. I had nightmares, and hallucinations and heard voices at home; spiritual voices contending with the voice of truth, and grace. I was captured by the spirit, instructed by it to light a candle and dip my hands into the burning flame”.

He continued:

“I obeyed without question but with pain. My lips at a point were sealed until the pain had become unbearable. My fingers darkened in the flames until they turned into ashes. My shouts attracted siblings who came and rushed me to Korle Bu Hospital where I was admitted for months”.
