Six people were shot dead by men of the Nigerian Army in
Bokkos while protesting the attack on “Danan and Tasha Makarfi” villages by
suspected Fulani herdsmen yesterday night.
Unknown assailants had stormed the villages to carry out
attacks days after the traditional ruler of Bokkos and his family members were
killed by suspected herdsmen. *graphic photo after the cut*
Angry youth, earlier today barricaded all major roads
leading to the area in protest against the attack. Soldiers serving with the
Special Task Force in Jos opened fire on the protesters, killing six, and
leaving many others with varying degree of injuries.
"The protest that was stage today was peaceful. Nobody
was molested," writes D'yong Mangut, who shared the photo. "No house
was burnt and neither was anybody killed, yet the Army boys choose to send six
of them to their untimely grave with undisclosed numbers injured and currently
undergoing treatment in the hospital."
