The cleric also called on the government and law enforcement agencies to live up to their responsibility of providing security for all citizens and ridding the country of bandits and terrorists. “It is the duty of the government to ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens, and the killing of Rev. Father Isaac Achi is unacceptable.
“Innocent lives are being lost due to the failure of our government to stem the spate of violence, kidnappings, and terrorism across the country. The government has failed in its duty to protect the people, and it is time for them to take action,” he said. He then implored all christians to stand together in the face of the evil and work in unity towards a peaceful and just society as together, adding, “Christians shall overcome the hate and violence that seeks to divide them.”All rights reserved.
