PLATEAU VIOLENCE ERUPTS AGAIN
Violent clashes between Christian and Muslim groups have taken place in Plateau State again in the last few days. Sunday 17 January saw some killings in churches in the capital, Jos.
Reports vary significantly on the numbers killed in these attacks and the curfew impedes the collection of accurate data. Reports vary from around 150 deaths to many hundreds.
Vom Hospital, which receives significant support from MAI, is currently caring for some 20 victims of the violence, which has reached to the town next to Vom as well as Jos and Bukuru and surrounding villages. One victim being cared for at Vom Hospital claimed to have been shot in his own home by a member of the military sent to Jos to quell the riots.
