Whats really happening?
I got a text from a trusted source saying "A religious leader in Jos just sent me a text informing that an improvised rocket was fired from a distance on the Muslim area of Bukuru. One person is confirmed dead. The enemies of peace on the Plateau are at it again"
Then I read this......
(Via Sahara reporters).A 10-year old child was killed today after a man fired a rocket propelled grenade into an Islamic school known as “Makarantan Malam Babangida,” in Buruku, Jos.
Responding to the ensuing riot by angry youths, security operatives reportedly killed three more persons.
Confirming the tragedy, the Special Task Force (STF) and a leader of the Ungwan Keren Bukuru, said the attack on the school happened this morning around 10 am. Bukuru is in Jos South local government area.
STF spokesman, Capt. Salisu Mustapha, said when the STF received the report of the unknown attacker firing the grenade into the school, it responded promptly and contained the tension that engulfed the area.
He said the police immediately began investigations and that the area was cordoned off in an effort to apprehend the attacker.
The leader of youths in the area, Dahiru Musa Maiturare, said the rocket was fired from a distance. Two other boys were also hit.
“Some of our boys and girls are also trapped elsewhere and now their parents are crying because they have not returned,” he said. “We are blaming government, recently we caught somebody who was trying to plant bomb and nothing was done about it.”
SaharaReporters sources said the reaction of the youths in the area to the attack led to the death of three other people from gunshots fired by security agents drafted in to quell the rioting.
My heart goes out to the people of Jos......
