YAOUNDÈ, Cameroon (Crux) – Attacks across Nigeria’s Central Plateau State on Christmas Eve left at least 160 people dead and about 300 others injured.
The attackers started on 24 December but continued into Christmas Day. They targeted 20 Christian villages across the Bokkos and Barkin Ladi areas of Plateau State.
“We were taken unawares and those that could run, ran into the bush. A good number of those that couldn’t were caught and killed with machetes,” local resident Magit Macham told Reuters.
