6 dead in religion-torn central Nigerian region
JOS, Nigeria (AP)– Authorities say machete-wielding attackers have killed six people in two attacks on Christian villages in central Nigeria.
The attacks occurred Sunday night south of Jos with attackers armed with machetes and firearms targeting two Christian villages.
Violence between Christians and Muslims has claimed more than 500 lives over the last year in Jos and surrounding areas.
Officials say the raid was in retaliation for a New Year’s Eve attack on a van full of Muslims returning from a wedding that left at least eight people dead.
