— “The trial of suspects involved in the killing of more than 500 people in Dogo Na Hauwa, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State last month began on Thursday at a Federal High Court, Jos.”
— “Ninety suspects were listed for arraignment by the police but only 20 appeared in the court presided over by Justice Stephen Adah.”

— “An Abuja High Court had earlier directed that the suspects be transferred to Jos, where the crime was committed, for trial.”
