A man, identified as a pastor of a pentecostal church in Nnewi, Anambra State, Prosper Obum Igboke, has allegedly killed himself .
Sources said the man jumped down from a two-storey building, dying instantly, after he was jilted by an undisclosed lover.
A relative of the deceased who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity said the man had trained the lover in the university, after which she declined his marriage proposal.
The source said,“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 Leru autonomous community of Umunneochi LGA in Abia State the pastor was buriedon Friday in a bush in his community for committing sacrilege.
