Pastor Razes Self After Impregnating Chorister

The pastor after he set himself on fire

An alleged pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enerhen, Delta State has reportedly set himself ablaze to avoid the embarrassment that awaited him after he impregnated a chorister in the church.

It was gathered that the pastor, simply identified as Pastor Celestine, had dated the lady whose name was given as Rose.
He allegedly pleaded with Rose to abort the pregnancy, but the lady refused for fear of losing her life during the abortion.

He reportedly gave her a cheque for N2, 000, 000, which she also refused, even after explaining to her that her refusal to abort the pregnancy may lead to the fall of the parish.
After all efforts to get Rose to abort the pregnancy failed, he reportedly drove himself to Udu Bridge under which he lit himself and got burnt to death.

He was married and had a two-month old baby from his wife of two years.

The church is however yet to speak on the incident.
