The protest by hundreds of angry youths was in the aftermath of Tuesday’s night attack on Yelwan Zangam, a community inhabited by the Anaguta ethnic group in the outskirt of Jos, the state capital.
There are many versions of the reasons behind the night raid which community leaders said had claimed 37 lives.
Families of some of the victims said the attack was launched by herders but leaders of the Fulani in Plateau State debunked the claim.
Some people said the attack might not be unconnected to a land dispute between residents of Yelwan Zangam and a neighbouring community, Yelwan Mista Bow.
While police authorities in Plateau State have confirmed the attack, they were yet to give details of the actual number of people killed and the suspect behind the act.
However, the angry youths and women who staged a protest on Wednesday wailed and called for justice as security agents prevented them from accessing Plateau’s seat of government.
Meanwhile, Plateau State government said it will shoulder the responsibility of burying those killed in the Yelwan Zangam community.

So heartbreaking
ReplyDeleteEh God! This killing is so senseless and speedily getting put of hands. Is this how the leaders will fold their arms and keep watching the people of Nigeria being wiped out? God please come to our rescue o.
ReplyDeleteThis is really SAD........killings everywhere
ReplyDeleteMy heart bleed and I weep for the families of these people. Boko Haram are the ones doing this but the media are under reporting it. One thing that I found so hard to believe is how the media suddenly changed their identity from terrorist to bandits. They are now being called bandits.
ReplyDeleteSo pathetic...
Shameless governor, he has sold his people to fulani, God will judge him
DeleteNawaooooo I don't know when Jos and Fulani people fight will stop, this Fulani always wanting to dominate them no get their own village ni?
ReplyDeleteFulani no get village, they are always walking around looking for who to devour.
