JOS, Nigeria—Citizens of Plateau state, Nigeria, sought to show the country’s lawmakers the end result of a recent terrorist attack on the region, hauling the bodies of victims to their front door.

They marched by the thousands on Aug. 25 to the Government House in Jos, the cosmopolitan capital of Nigeria’s northern states, beside flatbed trucks carrying the bodies of 36 Christians killed the previous day. The grisly mass murder was the latest in the growing number of sectarian killings in Plateau since mid-August.
