FRESH TROUBLE IN JOS

The Nassarawa,Angwan Rukuba,Dutse Uku areas of Jos is now embroiled in fresh trouble as a result of the maza attack.Yesterday,the 21st of July,a burial ceremony for the victims of the maza attack was organized.On seeing the dead bodies of the victims,some christian youths were enraged and started rioting and attacking muslim commercial motorcycle riders.The muslim youths in other areas retaliated and there was lynching and killings on all sides.
I do not have relaiable figures of the dead but witnessed one lynching and there are reports of about seven to ten dead.Some of the victims include the husband of a newly married christian couple who was killed at Filin ball(nassarawa) and his wife macheted,an imbecile killed at Dutse uku etc.
Fresh trouble today is the case of the soldier who was firing at christian youth and was abducted and his rifle ceased by the youths.Soldiers are now making random arrest and drilling people.
Yours truly is on the scene and will keep you updated about latest events.
Pray for my safety.
