Just short of words,  Christians yet again been slaughtered like a goat, This is the boiling point!

Nigerian Acting President has ordered security forces to tighten up security and make arrest of anyone involve n the massacre.


The latest unrest in Plateau state comes at a difficult time, with Acting leader Goodluck Jonathan is trying to assert his authority while ailing President Umaru Yar'Adua remains too sick to govern.

Villagers in Dogo Nahawa, just south of the state capital Jos, said Hausa-Fulani herders from surrounding hills attacked, shooting into the air before cutting those who came out of their homes with machetes.

A Red Cross official said at least two other nearby communities were also targeted, in an area close to where sectarian clashes killed hundreds of people in January.

Plateau State Commissioner for Information Gregory Yenlong said more than 300 people, including women and children, had died.

Eyewitnesses say some of the bodies, which included women and children, were charred, while others had machete wounds across their faces. Aid workers said some had been shot.

Four days of sectarian clashes in January between mobs armed with guns, knives and machetes killed hundreds of people in Jos, which lies at the crossroads of Nigeria's Muslim north and predominantly Christian south.
