Sources report that he jumped from a two-storey building, meeting an instant demise, following a heart-wrenching rejection by his beloved.

The relative said: “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.”
In a shocking revelation, it is stated that, in accordance with the traditions of the Leru autonomous community of Umunneochi LGA in Abia State, Igboke would be laid to rest in a secluded forest as punishment for his sacrilegious act.
“The man was eventually buried on Friday in a bush in his community”, the source added.
