BREAKING: Protests Erupt In Jos Over Plateau Killings

Protests erupted in Jos, Plateau State, as residents, led by Christian leaders, demanded urgent action against rising violence and killings by suspected Fulani militants.

Protests erupted in Jos, the capital of Plateau State, on Monday morning, in response to the ongoing violence and killings in the region.

Gunmen, believed to be Fulani militants, have been blamed for a series of attacks, resulting in numerous deaths and widespread fear among local residents.

The protests, led by Christian leaders including Rev. Polycarp Lubo, the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), began at the Fawvwei Junction community road. The demonstrations caused significant traffic congestion, leaving many commuters stranded. This protest is a reaction to the growing violence, particularly the recent attacks in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas, where over 100 people were killed in the past two weeks.

Gyang Dalyop, one of the protesters, explained to journalists, “We are not happy over the continuous attacks and killings by gunmen in our communities. That’s why we have come out again to protest these happenings.” Hannatu Philip, another protester, urged the government to take immediate action to prevent the situation from worsening, adding that the violence must be addressed before it escalates further.

The demonstrators, holding placards with various messages, marched towards the Rayfield Government House, calling on authorities to intervene and end the violence affecting their communities.
