“This is a sad moment, for a priest to be killed in such a way means we are not all safe, these terrorists have (made us) lose themselves, and drastic action is needed to end this ongoing carnage,” he said.
The governor asked the security agencies to develop a new strategy that would end this cruel and barbaric act.
Meanwhile, the youth wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) described the parish house burning and killing of Pastor Isaac Achi as a pure terrorist attack aimed at wiping out the entire Christian community in Nigeria.
The head of YOWICAN, Amb Belusochukwu Enwere, said that the killing and burning of the priest and the parish house were the most evil and barbaric acts committed by blood-sucking bandits.
“The continued killings and kidnappings of Christian pastors in Nigeria are worrying. This must be stopped at all costs. The Christian community must rise up and unite to end this,” he said.
“Those behind this senseless killing and burning of the parish house must be brought to justice.”
