Plateau State Government has imposed a 48-hour curfew on Jos North Local Government Area following a deadly security incident in the Gari Ya Waye community of Angwan Rukuba.
The curfew, which takes immediate effect from midnight on March 29, will remain in force until April 1, 2026, according to a statement issued on Sunday by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Lohya Ramnap.
The government said the measure became necessary after the attack, which resulted in the loss of lives and left several others with varying degrees of injuries.
Condemning the incident, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang described the attack as barbaric and unprovoked, assuring residents that efforts were underway to apprehend those responsible and bring them to justice.
The government also called on citizens to remain calm and vigilant, urging them to cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information that could aid ongoing investigations.
Authorities reiterated their commitment to restoring peace and ensuring the safety of lives and property across the state.
