The Kaduna Anglican Communion Diocese has confirmed the death of Reverend Edwin Achi, a priest at Ebenezer Anglican Church in Ungwan Maijero, Chikun Local Government Area.
He was kidnapped on October 28 when armed men broke into his home in the Nissi village, near the Kaduna Refinery.
His wife, a customs officer, and their daughter were also abducted.
It was gathered that a few days after their abduction, the kidnappers contacted the family and demanded a ₦600 million ransom for the release of the victims.
The Diocese describes his death as devastating and is calling on authorities to strengthen security and secure the release of all those still in captivity.
Security authorities say Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
