Redeemed Pastor sets self ablaze after impregnating choir member

Double tragedy for him, as he had killed himself so as not to face the wrath of man. What about the wrath of God??

A pastor with RCCG, Enerhen, Delta state recently burnt himself to death. It was gathered that the decision of the Pastor, simply identified as Pastor Celestine, to take his life was as a result of allegedly impregnating a choir member of the church whose name is given as Rose.

It was learnt that he pleaded with Rose to abort the pregnancy which she refused blatantly as she did not want to lose her life during the abortion. He gave her a cheque for N2,000,000, which she 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 drove himself to Udu bridge under which he lit himself and was burnt to death. He was married and had a 2 month old baby from his wife of two years.
