Nigerian soldiers detained 39 people alleged to have killed six people yesterday in the latest violence between Christians and Muslims, a military official said.
The killings occurred last night when dozens of gunmen suspected to be Muslim Fulani herdsmen attacked three villages about 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of the Plateau state capital, Jos, Captain Charles Ekeocha, a spokesman for the military in the area, said today by phone from the city.
