Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has commiserated with the Catholic Bishop of Katsina-Ala Diocese, Most Rev. Isaac Bundepuun Dugu, the entire Catholic faithful and Christian Community in general over the demise of Rev. Fr. Faustinus Ukenongo Gundu, the Catholic Priest of St. Joseph Catholic Church Jootar, Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State.
Governor Alia in his condolence message noted that as a servant of God, Rev. Fr. Gundu greatly contributed to the spiritual growth and development of the church and humanity for many years and his decades of service will not be forgotten.
He particularly sympathised with the catholic faithful at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Jootar where the late Cleric was a Catholic Priest and had endeared himself to his parishioners.
The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula, prays God to grant eternal rest to the deceased as well as grant the family and the entire church the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Recall that Rev. Fr. Gundu had slumped on Thursday October 12th, 2023 and was taken to St. Anthony’s Hospital, Zaki-Biam where doctors pronounced him dead.
