Pope Baptizes Migrant Hailed As Hero

  • 6 years ago
As part of Saturday's Easter Service, Pope Francis baptized a Nigerian migrant, who rose to fame after confronting a thief on the streets of Rome. Last year migrant John Ogah was been begging outside a supermarket in Rome when he confronted a thief, who was armed with a meat cleaver and attempted to steal money from the store. On Saturday, Ogdah, heralded by the Italian Press as a hero, was one of eight people baptized by the Pope at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
