JOS IS CALM, NO CAUSE FOR ALARM AS NORMALCY IS RESTORED TO GADA BIYU

Jos, the capital city of Plateau State is calm and peaceful as there is no cause for alarm. The breach of peace reported around Gada Biyu, Jos North LGA has been put under control following swift response by security agencies. 

The security personnel responded to the incident where some youths reportedly obstructed traffic and set ablaze two trucks on the highway. 

The intervention of the security personnel immediately brought the situation under control as the youths were dispersed and the road cleared, thereby restoring traffic flow. 

With the return of normalcy around Gada Biyu and environs, the Government is urging citizens to avoid any act that could lead to the breakdown of law and order. 

Meanwhile, security forces have continued their operations to dominate areas affected by recent attacks in Bassa and Riyom LGAs with a view to restoring normalcy and arresting perpetrators as directed by Governor Simon Lalong after an emergency Security Council Meeting.
