The man, identified as Williams Okelenyi, stated, on April 11, 2026, that they were a constant presence in the past, and he most times attempted to avoid them from knocking at his door. However, he was surprised when he received a visit from two female members of the group recently.
He said:
"So this is not to shade anybody or any group or church. But then I was having this conversation with a friend a few days back that we no longer see Jehovah's Witnesses. You know back in the days, you’d see them on Saturday, sometimes during weekdays. They'd come, they'd preach, you guys would argue about the Bible, and then they'd go. They’d give you those tracts that they used to give back then and then you’d read them.
But we no longer see them again. Currently, where I am, I haven't seen them since I’ve been here for like going on three years now. I've not seen them. But guess what, guys? This morning, guess what happened? I had a knock on my door and then I went outside. I saw these two ladies and they were like they have good news that they want to share with me. So I went back inside, got dressed, and then I came out. And guess what? It was Jehovah's Witnesses! Wow."

Speaking further, instead of avoiding them as he might have done years ago, he, this time around, felt a sense of nostalgia and was genuinely happy to listen to their message. He concluded his narration, saying he was glad they were still around.

He said in his Facebook video:
"You know back in the days, once they told you they were there, you’d want to run away, or if you saw them, you’d know it was them and then you’d want to run away. But this time, I didn't. I stayed back and I listened to whatever they wanted to say. And they told me they were going to come back and I was... I don't know if I was genuinely happy or just because I missed the interaction. Wow. So these people are still around. Nice."
