Pentecostal Pastor Commits Suicide After Lover Declined His Marriage Proposal

 Pastor Prosper Igboke, has killed himself after jumping down from a two-storey building in Nnewi.

Igboke, who is a pastor of a Pentecostal Church in Nnewi, Anambra State was reported to have jumped down from the building and died instantly after he was allegedly jilted by his lover, who he had spent so much money on. 

According to a relative of the pastor, 30-year-old Igboke from Leru community in Umunneochi Local Government Area, Abia State, had trained his lover in the University, but she later declined his marriage proposal.

“The incident happened last month. The man (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.”
