Residents said several people have been injured along Rwang Pam street, an area said to be dominated by Igbos, and Ahmadu Bello way.
Police and other security officials have, however, arrived to calm the situation. Meanwhile the Governor of Plateau State Hon. Simon Bako Lalong has declared a dusk to dawn curfew. Read his press release below…. DIRECTORATE OF PRESS & PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR, PLATEAU STATE Following the unfortunate reaction and spread of rumours within the Jos Metropolis in response to the agitation by Independent People of Biafra in South Eastern Nigeria, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong has directed an immediate imposition of curfew from dusk to dawn (6pm – 6am) within the Greater Jos – Bukuru Metropolis, until further notice; This is to forestall any break down of law and order. The Executive Governor has directed the immediate deployment of security personnel to all flash points within the Jos Metropolis to ensure compliance with the curfew and to avert any further breach of the peace.
this is a false rumor that has no basis. Everything is going on fine in Jos. The government for fear of reprisal attacks ordered a dusk to dawn curfew, but apart from that everything is just fine.
