Violence in Nigeria

After officials reportedly refused to post local council election results on
Thursday (Nov. 27) – prompting speculation that a party backed largely by
Christians had won – Muslim gangs in the Ali Kazaure area of the city began
attacking Christians, according to local residents. The resulting violence along
political, ethnic and religious lines resulted in a death toll estimated to be

mosque.


Pray for peace in the midst of chaos. Pray for those who lost loved ones in the wake of this violence.
