According to what the Anglican Diocese of Jos posted on its website; "they were mostly women and children. They were defenceless. They were unprotected. They died without knowing why or how.
"Somewhere but*her*d on their beds while many more were killed while trying to flee from their attackers; Muslims who feel these people do not deserve to live and do not deserve the lives they have. Women were hacked down as they tried to cover and protect their children with their bodies.
"Little babies were snatched from their mothers and thrown into the burning flames set by the attackers.
"Christians in three villages in a community near Jos were shot and butchered in cold blood in the early hours of Sunday 7th march 2010 simply because they were Christians.
"We call on the people of god worldwide to join us in prayers for Plateau State and the families of these people who died senselessly to satisfy the despotic cravings of Muslims in Jos.
"We pray for a miracle from god to halt the violence, destruction and bloodshed and for the spiritual gift of forgiveness in and on the church on the Plateau, amen."
