Niger State Government has stated that it will build a new Parish in Kafin-koro in honour of late Rev. Father Isaac Achi, the Priest of St. Peters and Paul Catholic Church, Kafin-koro.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Ahmed Ibrahim Matane disclosed this when he led Government delegation to Most Rev. Martin Uzoukwu, the Catholic Bishop of Minna at the St. Michael’s Catholic Cathedral, Minna to commiserate with the Christian community over the unfortunate incident.
The SSG noted that the exit of Rev. Father Achi at this time is painful, but “we console that his legacy of selfless service to humanity remain evergreen”.
He described him as an exceptional Clergy who preached salvation and impacted positively to his followers everywhere he served.
It would be recalled that bandits last week set ablaze the Catholic Parish House in Kafin-koro and killed the Parish Priest, Rev. Father Isaac Achi.
