Nigerian musician Panshak Zamani, popularly known as Ice Prince, has shared his memories of the 2001 Jos Crisis.
Naija News reports that the Aboki crooner described it as an extremely violent and dangerous conflict.
Speaking on Echoo Room with actor Teddy A, Ice Prince said he was still young during the crisis but remembers the events vividly.
He recalled that both churches and mosques were involved in sharing weapons, turning the city into a battlefield.
According to him, the streets were marked by gruesome scenes, with severed body parts left in public as a result of the fighting.
Ice Prince said that despite the severity of the crisis, the situation received little or no attention from the media at the time.
The musician described the crisis as a full-scale war that left lasting impressions on those who experienced it.
He said: “Those who know of the Jos Crisis will tell you that I am not capping, I was young then. Churches were sharing guns, mosques were sharing guns, because it was a serious thing; this was a full-blown war.
He added: “You would see heads on the ground, legs on the ground and stuff like that ,but it was so underreported”
