By Abibu Shehu Ibrahim
The Plateau State Government has imposed a 48-hour curfew on Jos North Local Government Area following a tragic security incident in the Gari Ya Waye community, Angwan Rukuba, which led to loss of lives and left several others injured.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the government said the curfew would take effect from 12 midnight of March 29 and remain in force until April 1, 2026.
The announcement, signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, said the measure was taken in conjunction with security agencies to restore calm and prevent further breakdown of law and order.
The government, under the leadership of Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, strongly condemned the attack, describing it as barbaric and unprovoked.
It assured residents that all necessary steps were being taken to apprehend the perpetrators and ensure they are brought to justice.
Residents were urged to remain calm, stay vigilant and cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information that could aid ongoing investigations.
