Nigerian mothers recall children’s slaughter
JOS — In a hospital in Nigeria’s central city of Jos, Chindum Yakubu recalls the moment her 18-month-old daughter was snatched from her back and hacked to death with a machete. “We were sleeping when we heard gun shots around 2 a.m. I strapped my youngest baby on my back and ran out of the house, but ran into the Fulani attackers,” she said Tuesday. She tried to escape but tripped and fell to the ground. “They removed the baby and killed her with a machete. I could hear the screams of my baby when they attacked her,” the 30-year-old said. Violence erupted before dawn on Sunday when attackers armed with machetes, axes and daggers swooped on the mainly Christian villages of Dogo Nahawa, Ratsat and Zot, near Jos.
