A priest was burned alive in his home in a botched burglary where a gunman failed to break into the building and instead set it on fire in Nigeria.
Rev Isaac Achi was killed in the Paikoro area of Niger state, in the north of the country on Sunday, while another priest was wounded but was able to escape.
Police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun has told how the gunman was unable to get inside and set it ablaze while the other priest, who also lived in the compound, suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder as he ran to safety.
