Plateau State’s capital, Jos, saw protests Monday morning in response to the continued bloodshed against locals by gunmen thought to be Fulani militants.
Christian leaders, including Rev. Polycarp Lubo, the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), led the protests, which started at the Fawvwei Junction community road and caused heavy traffic, leaving many commuters stuck, according to reports.
More than 100 people have been killed in Bokkos and Bassa LGAs in the past two weeks, and this most recent protest comes amid a rise in violent incidents in a number of towns.
