A/HRC/16/53/Add.1 shops and also attacked churches and mosques. The inter-communal violence continued during the following two days. On 20 January 2010, the Nigerian Army informed that it had brought the situation in Jos under control and stopped the violence. There are allegations that the military and police forces used excessive force in responding to the mob violence, but no specific incidents are reported yet. 248. There are no reliable figures on the number of casualties of the violence. According to one report reviewed, by the evening of 19 January 2010, the central mosque of Jos had received 192 dead bodies, and at least 800 persons were injured, 90 of them seriously. According to a second report, 151 bodies had been taken to the central mosque for burial by 19 January, while 65 Christians had been killed. A third report states that more than 460 people in and around Jos have been killed, while official Government estimates of the death toll are significantly lower at 75 persons killed. 249. The violence on 17 January 2010 follows previous outbreaks of inter-communal violence in Plateau State. The Special Rapporteurs summarized the information received with regard to four major incidents in the past years: 250. From 7 to 13 September 2001, violence between Christian and Muslim mobs in Jos resulted in the killing of hundreds of persons, possibly more than a thousand, the displacement of tens of thousands, and massive destruction of property (see also the mission report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, E/CN.4/2006/5/Add.2, para. 81). The village of Dilimi on the outskirts of Jos, which was inhabited in majority by Muslims, for instance, was nearly entirely razed to the ground, resulting in the destruction of about four thousand houses, eleven mosques, and two schools. Only a few buildings belonging to Christians were left standing. In another incident, in an attack on the University of Jos by Muslim men, at least twenty-five students and at least six or seven university staff were killed. Eventually, the Nigerian Army intervened and restored law and order. The Plateau State Government set up a judicial commission of inquiry chaired by Judge Niki Tobi, which held public hearings and received numerous submissions. However, its report was never published. Another judicial commission of inquiry with a broader mandate to investigate the conflicts in Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue and Taraba States was set up at the federal level in 2002. It concluded its hearings and submitted its report to the President in April 2003. The report has not been published and its conclusions are not known. 251. On 24 February 2004, fighting erupted between Christians and Muslims in Yelwa (see also the mission report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, E/CN.4/2006/5/Add.2, para. 81). The number of victims is not known: according to the police investigations a total of around 78 people were killed, according to a local government official 265 people. The majority of the victims were Christians. In what appears to have been the worst incident on 24 February 2004, a group of more than 50 young Muslim men attacked the compound of a church known as COCIN no.1. With guns, machetes, swords and axes they killed at least 48 Christians, according to some witnesses even more. 252. On 2 May 2004, large groups of attackers from the (mostly Christian) Gamai, Montol and Tarok tribes surrounded Yelwa from different directions and blocked all the main roads leading out of the town, displaying a high level of coordination. Witnesses estimated that the attackers numbered several thousand. They invaded Yelwa town and proceeded to kill Muslims with machine guns mounted on jeeps and machetes. In the evening they withdrew, to return in the early morning hours and continue killing Muslim inhabitants of Yelwa. In one of the incidents on 3 May, a small private clinic in the Angwan Galadima area of Yelwa, Al-Amin clinic, was attacked. The attackers allowed the women to leave, burned the clinic and killed 32 male patients inside, most of whom were being treated for injuries sustained during the violence on the previous day.
