Women vigilantes patrol Nigeria city after deadly attacks: Video
In the central Nigerian city of Jos, Muslim and Christian women have formed vigilante groups to help protect their communities amid ongoing ethnic and religious tensions.
Armed with sticks, the women patrol neighbourhoods at night, stepping in where security forces are overstretched. The initiative comes as the city faces renewed violence, including recent deadly attacks that prompted a curfew. Participants say their goal is to prevent crime and protect residents, showing unity across religious lines in a region often marked by division.
