Tragedy Again: 30 killed in Nasarawa

No fewer than 30 persons were feared dead in Assakyo, headquaters of Lafia East Development Area of Nasarawa State, following renewed violence between Alago and Berom communities.

The crisis was said to have erupted between the two warring communities following a disagreement over some payment to a traditional head in the area.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the Eggon people objected to the payment to the Alago traditional head, alleging that the other community was taking undue advantage of them.

It was another tragic day on Lagos-Ibadan expressway, yesterday, as 24 vehicles were burnt after an articulated vehicle carrying fuel fell and caught fire.

In the resultant gridlock, thousands of passengers, including the wife of the governor of Oyo State, Mrs Florence Ajimobi, and a former deputy speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Ayo Odugbesan, were held for between five and twelve hours.

Suicide Car Bomber Kills 12 In Nigeria Church

YELWA, Nigeria (Reuters) - A suicide bomber drove a car full of explosives into a church in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing 12 people in the latest deadly attack on Christian worshippers, witnesses said.

Security forces at a road block nearby said the bomber forced his car through the checkpoint and drove into the church in Yelwa, on the outskirts of the city of Bauchi.

A Reuters reporter at the scene counted 12 bodies being pulled from the building.

The Dana Air flight was heading from Lagos to Abuja, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority head Harold Denuren told AP news agency.
He was quoted elsewhere saying he did not believe any of the 153 people on board had survived.
The crash took place in a neighbourhood just outside the airport, AP quoted federal emergency management as saying.
It said emergency personnel were on their way to the scene.
Nigeria, like many African countries, has a poor air safety record, though some efforts have been made to improve it since a spate of airline disasters in 2005. BBC-News
