Two people were killed and one wounded in the skirmishes which occurred over registration of voters at Tina Junction in Jos, Plateau State. Information gathered revealed that the trouble started when a group of boys were being escorted by men of the Special Task Force from Rikkos, a Hausa dominated area, to Philips Academy in Yan Trailer area to collect registration materials.

On sighting the youths at Tina area, youths residing at Tina area, a Christian dominated area, who had already got wind that they might be attacked by some Hausa youths at any time, began throwing stones at the Hausa boys and the STF men.
It was at this point the youths residing in the area got hold of one of the Hausa boys, who is adhoc INEC staff with the STF men and descended on him killing him instantly.
The STF men in trying to disperse the mob shot at the group and gunned down one of the boys living the in the area and he also died instantly.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abdurraman Akano, who confirmed that two people were killed, however, told Daily Sun that an Hausa youth was killed when he wanted to register in the area and was accosted by the residents who asked him to go back to his area of residence to register.
It was at that point that trouble ensued and a boy was instantly killed. Men of the STF who came in to save the situation shot to disperse the crowd and another boy was hit and killed in the process.

The state commissioner of police therefore warned that nobody should prevent anyone from registering as a voter in any center on the basis of ethnicity or religion, saying the state command would not tolerate such obstruction.
In a statement, he said the command would use the lawful power available to it to dissuade anybody from taking for granted the will of government and people of Nigeria on the Plateau. He appealed to the people of the state to cooperate with INEC and security agencies for the success of the ongoing voters’ registration exercise while assuring all the citizens that their security was maximally guaranteed.
