Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI passed away on December 31, 2022, at the age of 95. A group of Nigerian Muslim intellectuals, led by Malam Gambo Barnawa, sent their condolences to Christians everywhere.
When they visited Pastor Yohanna Buru, the General Overseer of Christ Angelical and Life Intervention Ministry, Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, for the New Year, the academics expressed their sympathies.
The group, according to Barnawa, went to Buru's residence to wish him a happy new year and also to send condolences to Christians throughout for the passing of Pope Benedict XVI.
