One of the men at the centre of the resurrection storm has been identified by the names Elliot and Brighton and, according to someone claiming to be his employer, he has since been arrested for the part he played in this past weekend’s show.

Speaking to Azania Mosaka during the Tuesday edition of her show on 702, the man named Vincent confirmed that he had been told by his other employees that Brighton had been arrested and that they had no further details at this stage.

“I got word from one of the guys that works for me that knows Brighton, I believe they arrested him today,” said Vincent.

“Can you imagine what a life he’s had? He’s worked for me, he died, he was resurrected and now he’s been arrested,” joked Vincent.

He went on to confirm that Brighton was indeed an employee at his wood-working factory in Pretoria where he worked until recently and he looked completely healthy the last time he reported for duty.

According to Vincent, this is not the first stunt that Brighton has been a part of as he previously pretended to be wheelchair bound so that the pastor could “heal” him in front of the masses.

His employer went on to describe him as a very smart man who was unfortunately fond of lying.

Various social media users have also shared old photos featuring Brighton and it seems as though he has previously worked with the pastor as his cameraman among other things.
