Two charred bodies were visible at an army test point and a fresh corpse lay on the side of the street spearheading into Jos. A nearby mosque motionless smoldered, its spires blackened via fires.
Authorities have inflicted a 24-hour curfew in Jos, but citizens were perceived walking circle the core of the city. When an army convoy passed, they ceased and reared their hands above their chief to illustrate they were not a threat.
The violence originated on Sunday afterwards Muslim youths set a Catholic church ablaze. Witnesses said rioters armed with knives, homemade firearms and stones assailed passers-by and brawled with safety coerces, retiring bodies in the road and piled in regional mosques.
Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday that more than 200 citizens have been murdered in the priestly violence. The team also paged on Nigeria’s federal to analyse and prosecute those responsible for the killings.
