Kidnapped Nigerian priest killed after a month in captivity, says church leader
Anglican priest Venerable Edwin Achi was killed in captivity after being kidnapped in Kaduna state, Nigeria. Gunmen initially demanded 600 million naira for Achi's release, later reducing it to 200 million naira; his wife and daughter remain captive. President Bola Tinubu has ordered the recruitment of 50,000 police officers to address the surge in kidnappings and violence.
