A pentecostal evangelist, Prosper Igboke, has reportedly committed suicide.
The pastor jumped to his death from a two-story building in Nnewi, Anambra State on Friday.
Relatives of the deceased cited heartbreak from the pastor’s lover as the reason for his action.
A relative of the deceased who spoke to the press 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. 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.”
