Father Achi was burned to death, while another priest, identified as Father Collins, who was at the house, was shot and wounded as he tried to escape.
Adiodun said he is recuperating at a local hospital.
Niger state governor Sani Bello said, “It is a sad moment. For a priest to be killed like this means we are all not safe. These terrorists have lost it and are determined to end this ongoing carnage.” Strict action is needed.”
