When the thunderous sound rent the area by reason of the fall, Josua wondered what it could be as it was a sunny day.
He went to the place where it fell and found the rock weighing 2.2kg in his house.
The money he sold is worth 30 years of his salary.
The father of three shared a video on his Facebook wall showing the exact spot the rock fell describing it as warm when he lifted it.
It is calculated that the whopping sum he sold the rock for equates to his usual salary for a period of 30 years.
The man has decided to build a church for his community from the money.
