The Nigeria Police says the 164 people arrested during last month’s sectarian crisis in Jos, may be charged to court later this week. According to the police, 41 of the suspects will be charged with murder.

Police spokesperson, Emmanuel Ojukwu, confirmed that all the 164 suspects arrested during the crisis are still in police custody. According to Mr. Ojukwu, “164 were arrested and interrogated, 41 will be charged for murder and terrorism.” He also said 151 suspects will be charged with multiple offences that include unlawful possession of firearms, arson, and rioting.

According to him, in accordance with the law, the prosecution of the suspects will be handled expeditiously by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.

Last month’s killings occurred less than two months after hundreds of Muslims were killed in the village of Kuru Karama. The latest killings that occurred in Dogon Nahowa village, also leading to the death of hundreds of people, are believed to be reprisal attacks for the January killings.

In the last ten years, sectarian killings have occurred with frightening regularity in Plateau State, leading to a vicious cycle of killings and counter killings.

Many have blamed politicians for the violence that stalks a state that was once the epitome of peaceful inter-faith and inter-tribal living.

Mr. Ojukwu said the Nigeria Police is doing everything to ensure that the violence does not reoccur. He further said: “The Police High Command has sent a Police Assistant Inspector General to Jos to maintain order, make sure that there are no recurrence of such, and take charge; and we are ready to mobilise in case there is any eventuality.”

However, there is a lack of confidence in the ability of the police to provide a permanent solution to the problem. On March 17, ten days after the Dogon Nahowa killings, another 12 people were killed in Byei village in Riyom local government area of Plateau State. Fulani herdsmen are alleged to be responsible.

lock all those bastards involved in a small dark room,give each a sword to fight and kill one another until one survives,and that survivor should be made to eat all the blockos of the dead animals(extremists?).This is my wish if allowed my judgement on them.

I hope they get the death penalty . . if that still exists!

good for them.

after all this public show, what next? na today we don dey see all this parade?

I am sorry to say i have my reservation on this nonsense . . . .do those hungry dudes looks like they cld have killed 500 people? i think this is a case of arrest some homeless and they will all shut up . . ,

Look at that stupid Barca fan in the pic,
Messi would be disappointed.

So y'all blv they have the right people?

I do not doubt that the last for people by the right could be the right people. Look at their faces and bears naa. That is how religious terrorists look like. For the rest, I'm not too sure. Some of them could have been caught for being in the wrong place, which does't mean they are involved in the killing. Sometimes, the innocents pay for the atrocities caused by the evil ones. Just pray never to a a sacrificial lamb for anyone's offence.

Moved 2 Crime

Ok ok ok, now they have them all in one room, quickly pour petrol and light matches. Why are they wasting time?

Look at those shameful useless men. Killing innocent children and unaware mothers.
Awon oloriburuku oshi. . . . heartless hungry looking bodies.
Koni da fun gbogbo wan, se ni won ma jo shinshin ninu ina.
Hisss, , , , like seriously, look at them. Looking like they couldnt have used their blades on their cows if they were that hungry.

the guilty always hide under the facade of an innocent look

i second ur qoute.who doesn't know nigeria police.the real culprits are never caught(even though they know them),but innocent ones who know nothing about the crime.

my problem with all these public show is that at the end nothing concrete comes out of it.

Hard to believe these people could murder innocent women and children in cold blood.
Just look at the pictures of their victims. Warning!!! The pics are horrible
