Anasko: THE NEWS
Taraba: 8 Die, 40 Injured in Wukari
Religious Riot
At least eight persons have been confirmed
dead and over 40 others lying critically ill in
various hospitals in Wukari, Taraba State,
following a religious riot which broke out in
the early hours of yesterday.
The riot led to the disruption of traffic along
the busy Jalingo-Katsina Ala road linking the
South-eastern part of the country with the
North-east.
The crisis was said to have been ignited as
a result of the siting of a mosque at the
divisional police headquarters located in the
local government council area headquarters
complex.
Piqued by the development, some Christian
youths , according to the police
commissioner, Aliyu Musa, who confirmed
the story to journalists, embarked on the
demolition of the mosque and this led to a
reprisal action by other moslems, leading to
massive destruction of lives and properties.
Eye witness stated that the entire streets of
Wukari have been deserted as a result of
the violence and the people have began to
seek refuge in the neighbouring towns and
villages. "As I am talking to you now, the
town is on fire. All schools and shops have
been closed and most of our people have
begun to move out of the town for safety"
About five mosques and three churches,
were said to have been set ablaze by the
youths, believed to be armed to the teeth,
chanting war songs. Fears are being
expressed over the safety of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members
presently camping in Wukari Local
Government Council of the state for the
three weeks orientation .
Meanwhile, the Taraba State Police
Command, has mobilised about three trucks
of mobile policemen fully armed to the
trouble zone which is about 220 kilometers
from the state capital
Confirming the development, the State
Police Commissioner said “as you have just
seen, about a unit of mobile and general
duty policemen are now on their way to
Wukari.
“I am sending these mobile men there to
increase the strength of the ones on ground
so as to bring the situation under control.”

PAGAN 9JA:


you fellows are getting back what you did to the Pagans. Its Karma. you cant escape it.

Ajpharm: Even if we go back to our roots. There will still be violence. Violence is a personal thing, a thing of the mind. Whether you are a xtian or muslim, you act the way you do on a personal basis.

Yujin:
Lol. 'You fellows', are you referring to Christians or Muslims? Christianity at least in Nigeria was not spread by the force of arms or coercion unlike Islam. Uthman Ibn Hodio and his band of murderers(whose story I know too well from the west through the east of northern nigeria) and their descendants who share their views would reap what they sowed and are still sowing.
You I believe are still a pagan and I advice you to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour for He alone is the hope of mankind. Though with beautiful and enticing customs and festivals, darkness hovers round paganism(idolatry) and man can only grope in darkness.

confusion247: Another evidence to prove that we have one Nigeria as prescribed by gowon and awolowo. We can never live in peace until the structural problem of Nigeria is addressed. For now, people should call gowon because his house is closer to wukari. Those that were killed died in the spirit of one Nigeria and indivisible north.

Katier00 :
