Six people

night.
Unknown assailants had

Bokkos and his family members were killed by suspected herdsmen. *graphic photo

Angry youth, earlier
today barricaded all major roads leading to the area in protest against the
attack. Soldiers serving with the Special Task Force in Jos opened fire on the
protesters, killing six, and leaving many others with varying degree of
injuries.
"The protest that was stage today was peaceful. Nobody
was molested," writes D'yong Mangut, who shared the photo. "No house
was burnt and neither was anybody killed, yet the Army boys choose to send six
of them to their untimely grave with undisclosed numbers injured and currently
undergoing treatment in the hospital."
