The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has expressed its condolences to the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria and the entire Catholic faithful in Nigeria following the heinous murder of Rev. Fr. Isaac Achi.
Achi was the Parish Priest of St Peter and Paul Church, Kafin-Koro in Niger State’s Paikoro Local Government Area until he died a few days ago and was buried on Friday.
The supreme Christian body noted that Achi died when society needed him the most.
“His death is a sad development at a time his parishioners and by extension other Christians in the country can benefit more from his leadership and sense of direction,” a statement signed by Archbishop Daniel C. Okoh President, Christian Association of Nigeria said.
He described the cleric’s murder as tragic and a great loss to the Church because the Reverend Father was a guardian and philanthropist to many needy members of society, according to him.
CAN, on the other hand, urged authorities to strengthen internal and external security frameworks to prevent future occurrences of the incidents that led to Fr. Achi’s untimely death.
The Christian body prayed for the departed’s soul to rest in perfect peace.
