A Trusted Nigerian Newspaper

A skirmish was timely averted by the Gombe Police Command on Easter eve as youths in a mosque pelted the brigade squad with stones and other objects, destroying their drums and inflicting injuries on others.

Narrating his ordeal, an eyewitness who identified himself as Ephraim decried the action of the angry youths who pelted them with stones. “We went out for Easter rally at night, but when we reached Jekadafari in the night near the Jaurawa mosque, they didn’t talk or say anything to us, they just started throwing stones at us and because there were only a few people that are in front that was why they attacked us.

However, reacting to the incident, Gombe State Commissioner of Police, Hayatu Usman, confirmed that a woman was injured during an alleged disagreement between Evangelical Church Winning All Boys Brigade members in procession.“I received a phone call roughly around 2 am this morning. It was a good samaritan who called to tell me that something was about to happen in the Jekadafari area here between Christians and Muslims.
