It's been another week of tension in Nigeria's central Plateau State.

Seven people killed by a local gang were found in shallow graves on Tuesday and elsewhere, security forces killed two people suspected of planning an attack on a village.

Two major outbreaks of communal violence this year claimed hundreds of lives, despite the army being deployed there.

The capital Jos lies at the crossroads of the Muslim north and Christian south.

Today, governors from the northern states are meeting in Jos to discuss the recurring violence.
