In case you were wondering, this has nothing to do with Islam.

JOS, Nigeria (AFP) — An overnight attack has killed at least four people in tense central Nigeria, a region regularly hit by violence between Christian and Muslim ethnic groups, the military said Monday.

The pre-dawn attack occured in Dabwak, a mainly Christian village near the flashpoint city of Jos.

“There are four killed,” Brigadier General Hassan Umaru, commander of a military unit deployed in the area, told AFP.

Locals said five people — a mother and four children — were shot and killed, blaming Fulani Muslims for the attack.

“It’s the Fulanis that came shooting. They killed . . . my mother-in-law, three of my brothers-in-law and my sister-in-law,” said a woman before breaking down on the phone and hanging up.
