Mgr Michael Bibi, the Bishop of Buea Catholic Diocese, recently visited the scene of a heart-wrenching accident in Mutengene, that cost the life of a student. His visit aimed to offer comfort and solace in the wake of a devastating loss.
The fatal accident that occurred on February 17, 2024, claimed the life of Yemih Nestor, a bright and promising student who had earned distinction as the top-performing Form Two student at Cambridge College, Mutengene.
As Bishop Bibi surveyed the accident scene, his words of compassion echoed as he offered a beacon of hope amidst the pain and grief.
