The Catholic community in Kafin-Koro and the entire Catholic Diocese of Minna still remember with deep sorrow the tragic night when bandits attacked the parish residence and cruelly took the life of Rev. Fr. Isaac Achi, burning him to death inside his home.

His assistant priest survived with gunshot injuries and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Though time has passed, the pain remains fresh in the hearts of many faithful. This painful event reminds us of the dangers faced by priests and worshippers in different parts of Nigeria, where churches and communities continue to suffer attacks.

Today, we remember a shepherd who gave his life in service to God and humanity. May his sacrifice never be forgotten, and may peace return to our land.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the soul of Rev. Fr. Isaac Achi, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
