A Pastor of Ikpiro Parish, Yambio Diocese of Episcopal Church condemns criminals acts of not respecting church premises.
 
Reverend Simon Philip Atiyo says every human being is created by God and should respect His house, Radio Anisa reports.
 
Those who kill and loot the property of the church are the very Christians baptized in the church, he regretted.
 
The Pastor advises all people to keep churches holy and keep away weapons and swords.
 
He reveals that Ikpiro Parish is facing difficulties to run normally because last year criminals broke in the church and collected all belongings.
 
Citizens, who deserted Ikpiro area due to insecurity last year, are unable to get back to cultivate because the situation is not yet normal, he adds.
 
The pastor is appealing to both the government and the civilian to stick to their promises made on the national prayer day of embracing peace and forgiveness.
 
The priest was reacting to Wednesday incident when unknown gunmen hid inside the church and shot one policeman in Yambio.
