Protests in Jos over Plateau killings
BREAKING: Protests in Jos over Plateau killings
Fresh protests broke out in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Monday over the persistent killings of indigenous residents by suspected Fulani militants.
The demonstrations, which were led by Christian leaders including Plateau chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Polycarp Lubo, began at the Fawvwei Junction community road, causing significant traffic gridlock and leaving commuters stranded.
The protest follows a recent surge in violent attacks on communities in Plateau with more than 100 people reportedly killed in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas over the past two weeks.

Another protester, Hannatu Philip, urged the government to intervene before the situation spirals out of control.
The demonstrators, carrying placards with various inscriptions, were seen marching toward the Rayfield Government House to demand urgent security intervention.
