 ANGLICAN CHURCH CONDEMNS KILLING OF VENERABLE EDWIN ACHI


The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has condemned the killing of Venerable Edwin Achi, a priest of the Diocese of Kaduna, who was murdered after a month-long abduction.


In a statement signed by the Primate, Archbishop Henry Ndukuba, the Church described the incident as a tragic loss and an assault on the nation’s conscience.


The Church called on the Federal Government, security agencies, and international partners to identify and bring to justice the sponsors and enablers of attacks targeting clergy and vulnerable communities.


It also appealed for the immediate and unconditional release of the priest’s wife and daughter, who were abducted alongside him and remain in captivity.


The Anglican Communion urged authorities to intensify efforts to end kidnappings nationwide and prayed for comfort for the family and healing for the nation.
