Residents of Jos metropolis, Plateau State, on Saturday, cried out over the shortage of food items and other essential commodities in their areas following the re-imposition of 24 hours curfew in the area, Daily Trust reports.

The residents also complained about the hike in prices of food items after the directive.

The 24 hours curfew was re-imposed by the state government following the killing of members of the Anaguta ethnic group on Tuesday in Yelwa Zangam community of Jos North LGA.

Residents who came out to look for food complained about the situation.

Yakubu Busari, a resident of Janta Adamu, said people in the area were finding it very difficult to cope with the situation, saying the curfew, though important, had resulted in hardships in the area.

He said, “Getting the food is problematic. Many people don’t have money because they have to go out before they can get some money to buy food.

“Recharge cards are not available because many shops are not operating.

“The situation may result in theft and other criminal activities within the community.”

Peter Azi, a resident of Laminga, said, “The curfew is seriously affecting residents of my area in all aspects of their life. People can’t go to town to access health care services.

“Food items and other essential commodities are very scarce because sellers of the items often go to the town to supply them and the town is locked.”

Hamza Musa, a resident of Anguwan Rogo, said, “To me, the government by now should relax the curfew. People are hungry and should be allowed to go out and source food to eat.

“When hunger becomes unbearable and people decide to go out, the government may not control people.”

While calling for the lifting of the curfew, many residents urged the government to deploy security personnel at all flashpoints to protect lives and property.

Let's pray for plateau state

They are going through alot right now , especially the children.

May God protect and comfort them.

A lot is really ongoing in Nigeria now. Honestly this country needs a great restructuring. People are dieing massively every day like hens. Our government doesn't seem to care. One tribe is taking charge of the nation and seem to be overpowering the masses. Economy is really going down and food to eat is even hard to get after working all day. Oluwa o...... Hmmmmm

The rate the country has gone so bad has never been told before.


Man's government has failed.

Did the people think about the curfew when the murdered innocent people just because they are fulani?
There must be consequences when you choose to be foolish to spite the government.

Oh, i forgot. I might not be far from the truth to assume that the people who carried out that first attack are sponsored by anti-government fools who also chose a strategic location like Plateau state because of their volatility with crisis.

God will expose these evil people who wants to take power by force but at the detriment of innocent people's lives.
