Theres tension in Jos, the Plateau State capital after many people are feared killed around the Rukuba road area of town following a late night attack on Thursday that led to a reprisal on innocent persons on Friday morning.

Trouble began when gunmen, suspected to be Fulani herdsmen stormed the area at night when it was raining and killed a family of eight in what was said to be a reprisal attack after the corpse of a herdsman was found the day before.

Following the midnight massacre, youths in the area on Friday took to the streets, attacking motorists.
