After a long lull, Jos has slipped back into violence.
No fewer than 15 persons were feared killed in three attacks between Sunday and yesterday.
In Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, two attacks were carried out Monday morning. Nine persons were killed, seven of them children of a man.
In the second attack in Foron, also in the Burkin Ladi Local Government Area, at about 2am, three persons were said to have been macheted to death.
Barkin Ladi has been a theatre of war between Fulani herdsmen and their Berom hosts since 2008. The attack at Dogo Nahawa last year marked a major setback for peace in the Berom community, but several other attacks have been carried out in the area between the two warring groups.
The man whose seven children were killed in Heipang, simply identified as Nnaji, was spared by fate; he was at work as a security guard.
His wife escaped the attack by the skin of her teeth. She relived the horror yesterday, saying:
“I saw them; they were in army uniform. I even know some of them; they came among the Fulani people to carry out the attack. I can swear to God Almighty that the attack was carried out with the support of the soldiers, I saw them live.” She was in tears.

And who said it was the Hausas that carried the attacked.Beroms people always start the fighting by killing the Fulani and stoled their cows and in the cause of retrieving the cows the Fulani also attacked the Beroms.

May God have 'goodluck' on Nigeria. While all these issues of insecurity were going on in the country, our president promised to help london quell the riot
I think you should pray to God to fight for the battle not Jesus,because your Jesus could not even defend himself when he was caught and crucified by immoral.
