14 feared killed, 50 vehicles burnt in fresh violence in Jos

At least fourteen people are reported dead as fresh violence broke out in Jos, Plateau State capital Monday afternoon.

Trouble started early in the morning when some members of a Muslim group went for Eid el Fitri prayers at a mosque in Gada Biu area of the town and were resisted by Christians living in the area.
By Mid-day, the skirmishes had spread to Dogon Karfe, Massalachin Juma and Unity Junction areas of the town.

While security sources are yet to confirm the number of casualties, early reports indicate at least four people were fatally shot by operatives of the security task force in the town at Unity Junction. More than 50 vehicles and 100 motorcycles were also burnt. - 234next.com

  10. The christians resisted them whenthe muslims were going to pray. Something is wrong with the reporting. Why should christians be resisting people going to pray? Religious fanatism is in both christianity and islam. People should look for jobs instead of using christianity or islam to terrorise. MANY CHRISTIANS ARE TERRORISTS TOO!

  13. It has been made very obvious that you northerner sought to aggravate the administration of Jonathan and it is very clear that you people are doing what you are deliberately but 100 of you (malams) link together and those at the back will by no means succeed. Hence if you like let you and your inhabitants over there in the desert (DESERT DOGS) continue doing what you are doing keep on looking whom to blame. You fools
