“We Are Tired of Burying our People” – Tensions Escalate as Protests Erupt in Jos Over Plateau Killings

Protests erupted on Monday morning in Jos, the capital of Plateau State, as residents took to the streets to express outrage over the ongoing violence in rural communities, okay.ng reports.

The demonstrations, which led to significant traffic disruptions, were spearheaded by religious leaders including the Plateau State chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Polycarp Lubo.

The protest began at the Fwavwei Junction area and quickly caused a gridlock, leaving many commuters stranded.

This latest wave of public outcry follows a series of brutal attacks attributed to suspected Fulani militants. In just two weeks, more than 100 people have reportedly been killed in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas, prompting renewed fears of ethnic and religious tensions.

“We are tired of burying our people. The killings must stop,” said Gyang Dalyop, one of the demonstrators.

Another protester, Hannatu Philip, urged the government to take swift action to prevent the violence from spiraling further out of control.

Marching toward the Rayfield Government House, the demonstrators carried placards with messages demanding justice and increased security presence in affected communities.
