According to Punch, Pastor Igboke jumped down from the two-storey building and died instantly after he was dumped by his girlfriend, whom he had spent so much on.
A relative of the deceased, who confirmed the incident, said the 30-year-old pastor hailed from Leru community in Umunneochi Local Government Area, Abia State.
The source said the man supported his lover financially through university, and proposed marriage, but she rejected him, which led to his drastic action.
“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,” the source said.
The relative said due to local traditions, the pastor was buried in a forest as a result of his perceived “sacrilege.”
“He was eventually buried on Friday in a bush in his community,” the source added
The Anambra state police command’s spokesperson, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed that the incident was not reported to the police.
