2 THE POST-STANDARD, Syracuse, N.V., Monday, Oct. 3,1966 Warfare Kills 300 In Nigeria LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) Three hundred persons are reported to have been killed in renewed fighting between northerners and transplanted Ibo tribesmen from eastern Nigeria which broke out Saturday night in the northern city of Kano. (A dispatch from Cotonou, Dahomey, said reports received there told of the mob massacre of 100 Ibo tribesmen as they tried to board an airliner to flee Kano. Police forces were unable to curb the terror in Kano, the reports said.) Nigerian army troops flew to Kario from Kaduna to suppress the northerners' attacks on the Ibos. Northerners accuse the Ibos of economic domination over them.

Ibos have been attempting to flee back to their homes in the east with government help. Reports from Kano said crowds of northern civilians and soldiers swept through the Sabon Gari the Strangers' Quarter of the ancient wailed city Saturday. When the army troops arrived, the city was placed under a dusk-to-dawn curfew such as it is already in effect in three other cities in the north. Lt. Col.

The attorney general also noted a reaction among to "extreme statements; a seem to be pleas for violence from some of the- Negro leaders." But he said moderation "is the view of 99 per cent of all the Negroes in this-country;" He chided the impatience of some Negro leaders, saying, "some demand instant solutions.
