Jos (Nigeria) (AFP) - Some 300 gunmen stormed a mostly Christian village in central Nigeria on Sunday, killing five people and burning scores of homes, police said. The early morning attack targeted the village of Kuka in Plateau state, which roughly falls on the dividing line between Nigeria's mainly Christian south and predominately Muslim north. "Five people were killed and many houses were burnt," said Plateau's police spokeswoman Felicia Anslem. Herdsmen from the Fulani-Hausa ethnic group, which is mostly Muslim, have been blamed for scores of attacks on the primarily Christian Berom community.
Hundreds? OMG! This is a big mess for Nigeria.
