A funeral service for victims of the Palm Sunday attack in Angwan Rukuba community, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, was on Tuesday disrupted by a protest led by women who demanded the release of some youths arrested by security agents in the wake of the attack, which claimed at least 28 lives.
The protesters, who were armed with leaves and chanted songs, blocked the entrance of the church in the community where the mass burial service was scheduled to take place, refusing to allow the ceremony to proceed until their demands were met.
“We will not allow the burial to take place until our sons are released,” one of the protesters, Rhoda Aliyu, said.
“Those arrested by soldiers are innocent. They are not the ones who carried out the killings. They should go after the perpetrators and leave our youths alone, and we will not let them be detained unfairly,” another protester, Mathew Bulus, said. Punch
