A man identified as a pastor of a Pentecostal church, Pastor Prosper Obum Igboke, has allegedly committed suicide in Nnewi, Anambra State.
The man jumped from a two-storey building, dying instantly after his lover jilted him.
The deceased relative who spoke anonymously said the man had trained his lover at the university, after which she declined his marriage proposal.
“The incident happened last month. The man was 30 years old at the time of his death. His girlfriend, whom he intended to marry, disappointed him after seeing her through the university.
“He jumped down from a two-storey building and died. I am surprised that a man of this age and a pastor can do this.”
The source said according to the tradition of the Leru autonomous community of Umunneochi LGA in Abia State, the man would be buried in a forest for committing blasphemy.
The source added that the man was eventually buried on Friday in a bush in his community.
