A prophet who was sentenced to 7 years imprisonment in April has reportedly committed suicide.

Prophet Destiny Onwudinjo, a pastor of Heaven Divine Ministry, in Shasha, was served his sentence after he tried absconding from court during proceedings.

Following his confinement, Destiny was said to have been banging his head against the prison gates and walls continuously in a bid to kill himself until one day, it broke and he fell to the ground bleeding profusely.

He was rushed to the hospital and confirmed dead upon arrival as a result of the injuries he sustained.

The prophet was arrested and charged to court in April after brutalizing a commercial motorcycle rider, Chika Izuogu for refusing to pay him N120,000 for deliverance prayer.
