<h2>Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue on Saturday described the late Rev. Fr. Faustinus Gundu, a priest of the Catholic Diocese of Katsina-Ala, as a true servant of God.</h2>

Alia, in a condolence message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, described the death of the priest as a huge loss to the Church and Benue in general.

The statement was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Makurdi.

The governor condoled with the Catholic Bishop of Katsina-Ala Diocese, Most Rev. Isaac Dugu, the entire Catholic faithful and the Christian community over the incident.

“As a servant of God, Fr. Gundu contributed to the spiritual growth and development of the Church and humanity for many years. His decades of service will not be easily forgotten,” Alia said.
