A 30-year-old man has reportedly died after jumping down from a two-storey building in Nnewi, Anambra State.

The deceased, identified as Prosper Igboke, a pastor of a Pentecostal church and native of Umunneochi, Abia state, jumped down from the building following disappointment by his female lover.

A relative of the deceased who preferred anonymity said the lady had declined his marriage proposal after receiving training from the deceased at the university.

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.”

It was gathered that the deceased was eventually buried in a bush in his community. (The Nation)
