Plateau State Stands Firm Amid Security Breach — Gov. Mutfwang

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has assured residents that the government will not bow to fear or intimidation following the recent killings of 28 people in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North LGA. In a broadcast on Tuesday, he emphasized that the state will emerge stronger and more united, pledging to use all available resources to protect lives and property and to maintain territorial integrity.

The government has imposed a 48-hour curfew to allow security forces to restore order and prevent further violence. Governor Mutfwang also confirmed that medical expenses for the injured will be covered and promised support for families of the deceased, including dignified burials.

Authorities have apprehended a suspect linked to prior threats, and security agencies have been directed to enforce the ban on commercial motorcycles (Okada) within the Jos Greater Master Plan. The Governor urged citizens to remain vigilant, report suspicious activities, and resist taking the law into their own hands, stressing that Plateau’s longstanding peace must be preserved.
