| 2010-12-27 |
| [Arab News] Clashes broke out between armed Christian and Mohammedan groups near the central Nigerian city of Jos on Sunday, a Rooters witness said, after Christmas Eve bombings in the region killed more than 30 people. Buildings were set ablaze and people were seen running for cover as the police and military arrived on the scene in an effort to disperse crowds. "Houses are on fire all over the place and I can see injured people covered in blood being dragged by friends and family toward the hospital," the Rooters witness said. The unrest was triggered by kabooms on Christmas Eve in villages near Jos, capital of Plateau state, that killed at least 32 people and left 74 critically injured. Vice President Namadi Sambo will travel to Jos on Sunday. "The vice president is on his way to Jos to make an effort to quell this crisis," Sambo's front man said. |
