The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Plateau State, Rev. Fr. Polycarp Lubo, is dead.
He died in the early hours of Sunday, June 15, 2025, at an undisclosed hospital in Jos after a brief illness that followed an accident he had last week.
His death was formally announced in a condolence statement signed by the Archdiocesan Chancellor of the Catholic Archdiocese of Jos, Daniel Gyang.
The statement, titled Obituary Announcement, read, “On a sad note but with total submission to the will of God, we hereby announce the passing unto eternal glory of Very Rev. Fr. Dr. Polycarp Lubo, who passed on to eternal glory in the wee hours of the morning of Sunday 15th June, 2025.
“The Archbishop condoles with his immediate family, CAN Plateau State Chapter, the presbyterium of Jos, the parishioners of St. William’s Parish, Zawan where he was Parish Priest and Dean of Zawan Deanery, and indeed all the Religious and lay faithful of the Archdiocese.
“May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.”
Last November, Plateau Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, congratulated Lubo on his birthday.
Governor Mutfwang, in a congratulatory message signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, praised Lubo’s role in fostering peace and unity in the Church, the state and beyond.
