Jos crisis: Family of 8 killed •As Christians desert places of worship - O God not again!

TRAGEDY struck in the early hours of Sunday (yesterday) in Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, when a group of bandits suspected to be Fulani, snuffed life out of a family of eight in a midnight raid at Tatu village of Heipang district of the council.

In the raid, the bread winner of the family, Mr Chollom Gyang, his wife and six children in the family were brutally killed while the only surviving person was the fourth child of the family, who was away when the assailants called.


It was learnt that the assailants forced their way into the premises of the Gyang family, shot them at a close range and also butchered them to be sure that they were dead before they bolted away.

In a related development, many Christians in the city of Jos, on Sunday, stayed away from churches, following a rumour that some Muslim youths planned to attack places of worship in retaliation for the crisis that characterised Sallah celebration in the state capital.
