Nevertheless, a portrait of a smiling Yiga was carried ahead of the coffin that contained the remains of the man that has come to be referred to as Pastor Abizayo.

However, the more the believers looked at the portrait, the louder they cried.
Several women could be seen rolling around on the floor as they cried for the man who was once full of life.
