Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed condolences over the passing away of the Bishop of Kafanchan Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Joseph Danlami Bagobiri, who was buried on Thursday.
A statement on Friday by Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, conveyed that the President had transmitted his condolences to the government of Kaduna State, family of the late bishop and entire Christian community in Nigeria over the death of the cleric.
In a message to the government and people of Kaduna State, the Catholic faithful in particular, and the Christian community in the country at large, the President described the late Bishop as a committed Christian who loved his community.
“He fought injustice and all forms oppression. He helped the poor, established schools including a seminary described as one of the best in the country,” President Buhari noted.
The President prayed for the repose of the soul of Bishop Bagobiri.
