AT least three people were killed and churches and mosques were set ablaze in the eastern Nigerian city of Bauchi today, close to where clashes between religious gangs killed hundreds of people last November.

"A number of churches and mosques have been burned and at least three people killed and seven injured," a Nigerian Red Cross official said.

Clashes between Muslim and Christian gangs provoked by a disputed election killed hundreds of people in Jos, capital of neighbouring Plateau state, in November, the worst unrest in Africa's most populous nation for several years.

A spokesman for the governor of Plateau state said the security forces were on high alert.

"We have placed security here in Jos on red alert. We want to forestall any eventuality here," Dan Manjang said, adding the situation was calm.

Nigerian Christians appear to have decided to speak the language of the buyer, in other words reply in kind to their Islamic oppressors .
