A man identified as Pastor Prosper Obum Igboke of a pentecostal congregation committed suicide in Nnewi, Anambra State.
According to sources, the man jumped from a two-story building after being dumped by his sweetheart.
An unnamed relative of the deceased told Platinum Times that the man had schooled his lover at the institution before she turned down his marriage proposal.
“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 his age and a pastor can do this.”
The man would be buried in a forest, according to the tradition of the Leru autonomous community of Umunneochi LGA in Abia State, the source claimed.
Ultimately, the man was buried under a bush yesterday, according to the source.
