A man identified as a Pastor Commits Suicide after his lover jilted him. The pastor of a Pentecostal Church in Nnewi, Anambra State, Prosper Igboke, has committed suicide after he jumped down from a two-storey building in Nnewi.
Sources in the area said Igboke committed suicide after he was allegedly jilted by his lover, whom he had spent so much on.
A relative of the deceased who spoke to journalists on Saturday, said the 30-year-old man from Leru community in Umunneochi Local Government Area, Abia State, had trained his lover in the university, after which she declined his marriage proposal.
He said, “The incident happened last month. Igboke 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. According to their village tradition, the relative said he was buried on Friday in a forest for committing “sacrilege”.
