Islamic School In Jos Hit By Rocket Propelled Grenade

A rocket propelled grenade reportedly fired by a man driving an Opel car has hit a neighborhood in Bukuru Jos causing a loud explosion. Sources said the blast hit an Islamic school opposite Jos South new secretariat on the expressway in Bukuru killing at least one person.

The explosion led to shooting by security agencies who cordoned off the area as soon as the explosion occurred.

Already restive youths in two neighborhoods in Jos have engaged in protests over the latest attacks forcing businesses and banks to close down.

Jos residents said the whole machinery of the State Task Force has already moved to embark on a military action aimed at clearing certain Fulani settlements in Riyom.
