Pastor sets himself ablaze in warri, Delta State!

A cleric, whose name was given as Obaleme, committed suicide in Warri, Delta State, on Wednesday by setting himself on fire.

It was gathered that Obaleme, who had recently complained of family problems, stopped his car on Udu Bridge in Warri, grabbed a can of fuel and dashed under the bridge.

Eyewitnesses say he then doused himself with the fuel and set himself ablaze. Before onlookers could sufficiently quench the fire, the pastor died.

When contacted, Charles Muka, the state’s police spokesperson, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.
