Protests erupted in Jos, Plateau State, on Monday over the persistent killings of indigenous residents by suspected Fulani militants. Led by Christian leaders, including the state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Polycarp Lubo, the demonstrations began at Fawvwei Junction community road, resulting in heavy traffic congestion and leaving many commuters stranded.
The protest follows a wave of violent attacks across several communities, with over 100 people reportedly killed in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas within the past two weeks. “We are not happy over the continuous attacks and killings by gunmen in our communities. That’s why we have come out again to protest these happenings,” said Gyang Dalyop, a protester.
Another demonstrator, Hannatu Philip, urged the government to take swift action before the situation worsens.Protesters marched toward the Rayfield Government House, holding placards with various inscriptions demanding justice and security.
