Nigerian Christians Protest Against Plateau Killings

Christian groups were out on the streets of Jos, Plateau State (central Nigeria) yesterday, to protest against the mass killings by suspected herdsmen in several villages in the state.

The police say 86 were killed on Saturday but, local leaders say the number is more than 200.

The killings are said to be in retaliation to an attack on herdsmen.

The protesters say the authorities are not doing enough to stop the violence.

On Tuesday President Muhammadu Buhari met community leaders in Jos - the capital of Plateau state - and reiterated his commitment to tackling communal violence in the state and other parts of the country.
