Na mbu ka o bidoro

Muslims pursued their hunt for Christians today in religious rioting in the northern city of Kano, witnesses said. Thousands of people reportedly besieged police stations to seek protection. The Government said 8 people had been killed since the rioting began on Monday, but an unconfirmed report in one newspaper said 300 had died. Another newspaper reported that witnesses had seen about 20 bodies. President Ibrahim Babangida cut short his visit to Zimbabwe for the meeting of Commonwealth nations to return to Lagos tonight. He said some press accounts of casualties were exaggerated.
Protest Over Christian Meeting Government troops have failed to contain the violence, which began when thousands of Muslims took to the streets to protest the granting of police permission for a Christian revival meeting.
The revival meeting was scheduled for today but apparently was canceled. It was planned by the Rev. Reinhard Bonnke, a German preacher whose missions are popular in Africa. A group from Nashville, Tenn., that was to have taken part in the revival reportedly left Kano, the United States Embassy said. The Americans -- including the Rev. Don Finto, minister of Belmont Church, and John J. Hooker, a former candidate for the United States Senate -- were said to be in Lagos today awaiting a flight home. Muslims were angered because a few weeks earlier the police denied a permit for a South African imam to go to Kano, an Islamic stronghold in the Muslim- dominated north of this West African nation. Deadly clashes between Muslim and Christian zealots are frequent in the north of Nigeria, which is Africa's most populous nation, with a population estimated at 100 million to 120 million. Muslims are believed to out number Christians, but the question is so sensitive that a national census will not ask people to identify their religion. Three previous attempts to conduct a census were abandoned because of religious and ethnic manipulation of the counts. Much of the violence was centered on Kano's Sabongari neighborhood, which has a large population of Christians. Mr. Bonnke was reported to be safe at a house in Sabongari, which residents blockaded with burning tires and vehicles to keep attackers out.
