At least 12 people were killed in Palm Sunday Massacre in Jos..
An American missionary, Alex Barbir, has criticised President Bola Tinubu over alleged inaction following the killing of Christians in Anguwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a video circulating on social media, Barbir condemned what he described as persistent attacks on Christians, speaking from what appeared to be the scene of the Palm Sunday incident.
Residents said suspected gunmen, reportedly dressed in military uniforms, stormed the community on Sunday evening and opened fire, killing about 12 people and injuring several others.
A resident, Nyam Isaac, said the attackers arrived at about 8 p.m. and began shooting indiscriminately in a busy market area.
Another eyewitness account shared on social media also described the нападение as sudden and unprovoked, with assailants targeting unsuspecting residents.
Barbir, reacting in the video, questioned the government’s response to recurring violence, accusing authorities of failing to protect citizens.
