Jos, Rivers boil again •8 people killed, women raped; houses burnt

CRISES have again broken out in Jos, the Plateau State capital and two communities in Rivers State, leaving about eight people dead.

About five people were reported killed, with several others injured and about 200 houses burnt in an attack on Kegbara Dere, also known as K-Dere, in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, just as three persons were feared dead in a renewed hostility in Jos, Plateau State.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that men suspected to be from a neighbouring community, B-Dere, chased men and women of K-Dere, who were working on their farms back to their village after which they started burning houses and attacking villagers.
