Residents of Jos, the capital of Plateau State on Monday, took to the streets to protest the killings of indigenous people by Fulani militants.
The protest started at Fawvwei Junction community road and was led by top Christian leaders, including Rev. Polycarp Lubo, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the state.
The demonstration comes in the wake of a fresh wave of vicious attacks across communities in Plateau State.
News Band reported between April and March that more than 100 people have been killed in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas.
Protesters are demanding immediate government intervention, justice for the victims, and improved security in the affected regions.
Many carried placards condemning the violence and calling for an end to what they describe as targeted attacks on indigenous Christian communities.
“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, one of the protesters.
Another protester, Hannatu Philip, called on the government to intervene before it spirals out of control.
The protesters brandishing placards with different inscriptions were seen marching towards the Rayfield Government House.
