GRASSROOTS NEWS

I strongly condemn, in the clearest and most unequivocal terms, the reported attack on innocent citizens at Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State on the evening of Sunday, March 29, 2026.The disturbing reports of sporadic gunfire, allegedly carried out by suspected terrorists targeting unsuspecting passers-by before fleeing the scene, represent yet another tragic assault on peace, human dignity, and the sanctity of life. Such cowardly acts are not only reprehensible but entirely unacceptable in any civilized society.I am deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of residents in the affected area, particularly amid the uncertainty surrounding the number of casualties. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire Angwan Rukuba community during this painful and distressing time.I call on security agencies to act swiftly and decisively to:Track down and apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous act;Restore calm and confidence within the affected community;Intensify proactive intelligence gathering and surveillance to prevent further occurrences.Furthermore, I urge community leaders, youth groups, and residents to remain vigilant, cooperate fully with security operatives, and resist any form of reprisal that could escalate tensions.The recurrence of such incidents underscores the urgent need for a more robust, coordinated, and intelligence-driven security architecture across Plateau State and beyond. The protection of lives and property must remain a non-negotiable priority at all levels of government.I stand in solidarity with the people of Jos North and remain committed to advocating for peace, justice, and accountability.Enough is enough. The bloodshed must stop. No one—absolutely no one—deserves to die in such an unprovoked and gruesome manner.Chief Yilchini Jan Bida
