Speaking to NEXT over the phone, Davou Rwang, a resident of Jos, said, "It is true. We heard 11 people have been killed in Ryom, just outside of Jos."
Another resident, who lives around Jos and asked not to be named, told us that the attacks were carried out by some groups.
"There were carried out by three groups because three villages were attacked," he said. “They also set houses ablaze."
The police said they have begun investigating the incident.
This latest killing comes only days after the Army said it had intercepted a truck conveying 44 people suspected to be militants, on their way to Jos. Jos was rocked by violence 10 days ago, when mostly women and children were killed at night, in another settlement just outside the city.
The March 7 violence occurred weeks after hundreds died in four days of sectarian violence.
