According to reports, the 30-year old Pastor took his life by jumping down from a storey building after the rejection of his proposal by his lover, whose identity was not revealed as at the time of this publication.
Narrating how it all happened, a relative of the Pastor said: “The incident happened last month. The man was 30 years old at the time of his death. His girlfriend, whom he had intended to get married to, disappointed him after seeing her through the university”.
