ONITSHA - Nigerian military clash with militant youth in Onitshain southeastern Nigeria where revenge attacks against Muslims killed at least 27 people yesterday.
Groups of armed youths rampaged through the city littering the streets with bodies, reports said.
The violence followed anti-Christian attacks which killed dozens and left thousands homeless in the mainly Muslim north.
The slaughter raised the death toll from five days of religious riots fuelled by political tensions to at least 73.
