President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday has expressed condolences over the death of the Bishop of Kafanchan Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Joseph Bagobiri, who was buried on Thursday.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a statement said Buhari has sent a condolence message to the government and people of Kaduna State, the Catholic faithful in particular, and the Christian community in the country at large.
Shehu quoted the President as describing the late Bishop as a committed Christian who loved his community.
