Family announces burial date for Ex-Gov Ortom’s brother, Benard

The immediate younger brother of former Benue State Governor, Chief Samuel Ortom, Mr. Bernard Tyozenda Ortom, will be laid to rest on Thursday, April 3, 2025.

Bernard Ortom passed away on March 19, 2025, at the age of 62.

His family has announced a three-day funeral programme to honor his life and legacy.

In a statement issued on behalf of the family, Sir Robert Faga Ortom outlined the burial arrangements, stating that activities will begin on Tuesday, April 1, with a wake at the deceased’s residence near Rameti School, off Gabriel Suswam Road, Nyorgyungu, Makurdi.

“On Wednesday, April 2, the remains of the late Bernard Ortom will be moved from Bishop Murray Memorial Hospital, Makurdi, to St. Michael's Catholic Church, Nyorgyungu, for a Requiem Mass scheduled for 9:00 AM,” the statement read.

According to the family, his body will then be transported to Gbajimba, Guma Local Government Area, with stops at his Nyorgyungu and Gbajimba residences before arriving at St. Athanasius Catholic Church, Gbajimba, for an all-night wake.

The final funeral Mass will be held at St. Athanasius Catholic Church, Gbajimba, at 9:00 AM on Thursday, April 3. “Following the service, at approximately 11:00 AM, the remains will be conveyed to Tse-Ortom Adorogo, Guma LGA, for interment,” the family statement added.

Born on December 11, 1962, Bernard Ortom worked at the University of Agriculture, Makurdi (now Joseph Saawuan Tarka University) before retiring.

He is remembered for his contributions to education and his dedication to his community.
