Fresh tension hits Jos as curfew relaxation sparks hoodlum attacks

Heightened tension has returned to parts of Jos, Plateau State, on Wednesday following the relaxation of the 48-hour curfew imposed by the state government after the deadly Angwan Rukuba attack.

The curfew was initially placed on Jos North Local Government Area after gunmen attacked residents of Angwan Rukuba on Sunday, killing at least 28 people.

The Plateau State Government later eased the restriction, with the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, announcing that the curfew would now run from 7am to 3pm daily, effective Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

The move was aimed at allowing residents to attend to normal activities during permitted hours.

However, the relaxation failed to restore calm.

Instead, hoodlums and irate mobs reportedly attacked motorists and passers-by in several parts of the city, sparking fresh fear and panic among residents.

Our correspondent gathered that a young man walking along the road leading to the University of Jos Permanent Site was hacked to death by hoodlums.

Several motorists around Terminus, Bauchi Road and Gangere areas also had their windscreens smashed.

The most affected areas included the University of Jos axis, Bauchi Road, Farin Gada, Tina Junction and Chobe, among others.

The situation paralysed business activities in the state capital, forcing many banks in the affected areas to shut down operations.

“We are scared to open our shops. We don’t know what might happen,” said Joy Bature, a provision shop owner at Terminus Market.

“The governor has done well by relaxing the curfew in the interest of the people, but it is unfortunate that some people have decided to take the law into their hands.

Meanwhile, the University of Jos Alumni Association expressed deep concern over the rising tension and threats affecting students, staff and the broader university community in Jos North.

In a statement signed by its Global President, Gad Peter Shamaki, the association urged the Plateau State Government and security agencies to immediately deploy enhanced security presence across all University of Jos campuses, student hostels, residential areas where students live, and major access routes.

“We specifically request round-the-clock patrols, intelligence-led surveillance, and rapid response units to ensure that any potential threats are proactively addressed and swiftly neutralised,” Shamaki said.

The association advised students to stay indoors, remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activity. Residents also called for increased security deployment, especially around the University of Jos students’ village and hostels.

“There is an urgent need for security deployment to the University of Jos environment, precisely the students’ village hostel,” one resident appealed.

“We appeal to the security agencies to beam their searchlight around that axis.”

Another resident, Ishaku Mark, lamented the renewed tension, saying residents should concentrate on the peace rather than escalate the situation.

He urged the government to fish out and deal with those responsible for the fresh attack.

In a related development, the Plateau Lawyers Bar Forum has strongly condemned the “dastardly and heartless” killing of residents in Angwan Rukuba.

In a press statement issued on Wednesday and jointly signed by its chairman, Ledak Dafer, and secretary, Niri Darong, the forum described Sunday’s incident as part of a disturbing pattern of violence ravaging several local government areas, including Wase, Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, Jos South, Bassa and Jos North.

The lawyers extended condolences to the families of the victims and prayed for the quick recovery of the injured.

They called on the state government to identify, arrest and prosecute the perpetrators and their sponsors without delay.

They also demanded an investigation into the alleged delayed response by nearby police formations during the assault.

Watch as the federal police and the Nigerian army rush to defend the muslim settlers from Niger Republic and join them in attacking, arresting and killing the Christian indigenes of the state.

God helps us in Nigeria. The situation is not good @all.

A man was killed right in front of university of Jos.

Not surprised at all. A threat was made that after fasting, Christians will be attacked and they were attacked, yet the govt is pretending and not picking up the muslim perpetrators.

Psalms 95 Vs 20:Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship wíth thee,which frameth mischief by law
Vs 23:And God shall bring upon them their own iniquity,and shall cut them off in their own wickedness;yea,the Lord our God shall cut them off.
The wickedness of Nigerian politic leaders is second to none,Plateau state indigenes shóuld prepare to vote because of blood rice and money in 2027.

Everywhere is call now.
Indefinite dusk till dawn curfew declared by the government.
I with my boys just drive through terminus-gada biu-dong -old airport and back to my base in rayfield.
Life is bubbling 🍾 ✨️ at satellite Market in Rukuba Road. No sign of disorder there.
Very peaceful and orderly.

The people should hold the governor responsible

There governor just dey fat dey go and the masses just dey die like flies

The minister of defense himself is a Christian from the middlebelt

Why are we all still relaxed? Why are people not hitting the streets?

At this point, tinubu should resign immediately

He has failed disgracefully

Just see the way the hacked that man on white to death in the middle of the road in broad say light

What a country

These people no just like peace, them do their fasting finish then use killings resume work

What is the reason for this attack now. The bandits who killed have fleed.

Tinubu should. Simply deploy military there , only withraw them after election ,
He should not talk about the matter but work with the governor

LagosOrigin:
At this point, tinubu should resign immediately

Resign for useless people mudding themselves since year 2001.

Make them break up this country totally. Make North just go form their own country abeg. Or make Christian North and Muslim North just divide into different region with big border.

How can a people continue to mud eachother since 2001 and yet they never stop in 2026.

Missing eachother for foreign gods
