In Nigeria, the death toll from clashes between Muslim fighters and government forces over the last three days has reached 150 people. On Tuesday, government forces shelled the headquarters of a radical Muslim sect in the northern Borno state. A Muslim worshipper in the Nigerian city of Lagos urged an end to the fighting.

Yekin Akobi: “There is a way to settle issues between both parties, so I don’t see a reason why people should be killing themselves for nothing.”
