Pastor Prosper Obum Igboke of FlameHouse International Church has committed suicide in Nnewi, Anambra State.

Sources said the 30-year-old man jumped from a two storey-building to his death after he was dumped by his lover.

A relative of the deceased told a media outlet under anonymity that the man had trained his lover in the university, after which she declined 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 source said according to the tradition of Leru autonomous community of Umunneochi LGA in Abia State, the man would be buried in a forest for committing suicide.

The man was eventually buried on Friday, in a bush, the source added.
