A Nigerian rights group has urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate violence between Muslims and Christians in the city of Jos.

According to a BBC News report, the group, known as Serap, wrote to ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo asking him to open an inquiry into the deaths of 326 people in the riots. The activists also want the army and police investigated over claims they used excessive force to restore order. Lawyer Femi Falana wrote the letter to Moreno-Ocampo, arguing that the ICC should step in because the government was unlikely to take action, notes the report. 'Those who are suspected to be responsible for the latest violence and previous outbreaks of deadly violence in Jos have not been arrested let alone brought to justice,' Falana's letter stated.
