A 30-year-old man, identified as Prosper Igboke, a pastor of a Pentecostal church from Umunneochi, Abia state, reportedly died by jumping from a two-storey building in Nnewi, Anambra State.
He took this drastic step after being disappointed by his female lover, who had turned down his marriage proposal.
The lady had been trained by the deceased at the university, but she declined his 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.
“He will be buried in a forest for committing sacrilege according to the tradition of Leru autonomous community of Umunneochi LGA in Abia state.”
Following his tragic death, Prosper Igboke was discreetly laid to rest in a bush within his community.
