The Plateau State Government has imposed a 48-hour curfew on Jos North following a deadly security incident in the Gari Ya Waye community of Angwan Rukuba.
The curfew, which takes immediate effect from midnight of March 29 to April 1, 2026, was announced in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Lohya Ramnap.
The government said the measure became necessary after the attack on Sunday resulted in the loss of lives and left several others injured.
Condemning the incident, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang described the attack as “barbaric and unprovoked,” assuring residents that security agencies are working to apprehend those responsible and bring them to justice.
Authorities urged residents to remain calm, stay vigilant, and cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information to aid ongoing investigations.
The government emphasized that the curfew is part of efforts to restore peace and maintain security in the affected area.
