Fresh protests broke out on Monday in Jos, the Plateau State capital, in response to the continued killings of indigenous residents by suspected Fulani militants.
Led by Christian leaders, including the Plateau State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Polycarp Lubo, demonstrators gathered at the Fawvwei Junction community road, resulting in major traffic congestion and leaving many commuters stranded.
The protest follows a surge in violent attacks across Plateau communities, particularly in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas, where over 100 people have reportedly been killed in 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 one of the protesters, Gyang Dalyop.
Another demonstrator, Hannatu Philip, urged the government to act urgently, warning that the situation could worsen if not addressed promptly.
The protesters, carrying placards with various messages, marched toward the Rayfield Government House to demand immediate security intervention.
