A pastor who ascended a rocky mountain in Abuja to pray for Nigeria’s economic challenges has been discovered dead. The video of the deceased, which gained traction on social media over the weekend, showed him preparing for prayer atop the mountain. His body was found last Thursday.
Sources indicate that the pastor was originally from the Ohazara community in Ebonyi State and lived in Mpape, a suburb of Abuja.
Mr. Obinna Okorie, a neighbor who recognized the deceased, alerted the pastor’s family, prompting them to gather and retrieve his body. Okorie confirmed that the pastor was well-known in the community for his strong Christian faith, regularly engaging in prayer and fasting.
He stated, “I also saw the video, and his family was informed. They went to the mountain along Arab Road and took his body to the mortuary.”
Efforts to reach Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, for a statement regarding the incident were unsuccessful.
