Fear grips Christians in Kano and Kaduna following news of Osama's death

Many Christian residents in some areas in Kano and Kaduna left their homes in panic yesterday for fear of an attack on them by Muslims fanatics after news of Osama Bin Laden's death was made public. The late terrorist has some followers there.

Christians in these states were attacked and killed in 2004 by Muslim Osama supporters after the US invaded Afghanistan in search of Osama. The Christians are worried it could happen again...though quite a number of them returned home today.

There's heavy police presence in the streets to contain any protests that might rise. Hopefully nothing like that will happen.
