New gunfire rocked Nigeria’s troubled city of Jos, sending residents fleeing to police barracks for shelter, and troops patrolled mainly Christian areas yesterday.
Tensions remained high amid accusations that military chiefs ignored warnings about a massacre in which more than 500 people were killed with machetes and guns in Christian villages on Sunday.
Residents packed police barracks after an eruption of gunfire on Tuesday night but most returned to their homes early yesterday.
