Pastor Ogbonna, widely regarded for his dedication to both his faith and community, had been on the mountain for over a week, committing himself to intense prayer and fasting. Sources close to the pastor revealed that he was deeply concerned about the state of the country and felt the need for divine intervention.
Local authorities confirmed the incident, and an investigation is currently underway to determine the exact cause of death. However, preliminary reports suggest that prolonged fasting, coupled with extreme physical exertion on the mountain, may have contributed to his untimely demise.
