Boko Haram sparks riot in Jos, 3 killed 
Published on February 26, 2012 by pmnews · 12 CommentsChristian youths rioted Sunday in the Nigerian city of Jos, killing at least three people in suspected reprisal attacks after a suicide bomber killed three at a church, witnesses said.
An AFP reporter saw three bodies lying by a street near the bombed church. Elsewhere, he saw a row of Muslim-owned shops that were apparently burned by the rampaging youths.”There was a rampage by angry Christian youths after the blast at the church. They marched on the streets and set up a barricade on the road leading to the church. They also burned down shops owned by Muslims,” said resident Bello Mohammed.
He said he heard that four people were killed in the rioting, but an AFP correspondent saw three bodies, watched over by soldiers who were deployed to the city.Earlier a suicide bomber had smashed his explosives-laden car through the gates of a packed church during Sunday service, killing three people and injuring dozens, Church leaders said.Witnesses said a black car crashed through the gate of a perimeter fence and exploded a few metres (yards) from the wall of an 800-seater church hall in the central city.
Bulus Gambo said “youths were very angry and mobilised … and I overheard them saying they were going to avenge the attack”.The city of Jos and its environs in Plateau State are one of the most volatile areas in Nigeria, where hundreds of people have been killed in a spate of sectarian clashes between Muslim and Christian ethnic groups in recent years.State officials appealed for calm after the blast and the rioting, urging people not to take the law into their hands.

Qasim sharap! Boko haram r fightin islamic war
It ‘s really a pity for the whole government of the nation like Nigeria sit and watch innocent peoples being killed, butchered, burnt and malhandle by micrscrants and unscrupulus sect call boko haram and the president alongside with his cabin crew coming out daily to tell us that they are on top of the situation without taking appropriate actions against this dreaded group. How long Shall we continue like this? Boko haram are making affort by all means to break and destroy the prison where their members are being arrested and detained in other to set them free. The bible say ” because the judgement of the wicked is not quickly pass, the heart of men continue to do evil”. boko haram has taken it as a point of duty that every week they waste life still government can’t do anythin. They should stop coming out to tell nigerian to remain calm while they do nothing about it. Enough is Enough. Let us arise and fight for our right and injustic.
Funny someone said they should not take law into their own hands. What has the govt done wit the law that is in its own hands?
