Chaos in Nigeria

There's violence in pockets of Nigeria and the government has moved to quell the violence before it spreads.

The Federal Government has moved to prevent total breakdown of law and order following renewed fighting in Jos, Plateau State.

Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday ordered the deployment of troops in the troubled areas, while states in Northern Nigeria have been placed on red alert.

This comes as the Governor of Plateau State, David Jonah Jang, imposed a 24-hour curfew to stop violence from spiralling out of control.

The dispute started following a misunderstanding between a Muslim and a Christian and now threatens to turn into a full race war.
