His relatives and church members took him to the hospital for treatment as his condition kept deteriorating.

Barajah was reportedly receiving treatment at a hospital in Beira before he was pronounced dead. He had been rushed there in critical condition after 25 days of fasting.

Barajah’s neighbours said he got sick on the 25th day of his fast, his condition became worse on the 38th day.

The man of God had lost a lot of weight to the point where he could not stand up, bathe or walk, and efforts to help him regain his health, proved abortive.

Medics reportedly attempted to rehydrate and nourish Barajah with liquid foods, but to no avail. His followers were said to have expected the news of his death after seeing his extreme weight loss.

A local report of Barajah’s attempt to recreate the fast said he was foregoing water as well as food. The pastor, who also worked as a French school teacher, was said to have developed “severe anaemia,” had internal organ damage and was unable to digest food.
