The announcement was made on Wednesday by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, after consultations with security agencies.

She said the decision followed a noticeable improvement in peace and stability in Jos North and surrounding communities.

According to her, “In view of satisfactory improvement on the security situation in Jos North LGA and environs, the Plateau State Government, in consultation with security agencies, wishes to further relax the curfew imposed in the wake of recent disturbances.”

The curfew was originally imposed after the March 29 attack on Angwan Rukuba, where armed assailants reportedly killed over 20 people in a late-night assault.

The incident sparked widespread panic, leading to an initial 48-hour curfew that was later extended as tensions escalated.

The violence also triggered protests and disruptions in nearby communities, including a mass burial where youths and women demanded the release of arrested residents.

The situation further affected academic activities, forcing the University of Jos to postpone examinations and restrict movement on campus.

President Bola Tinubu had visited the state following the attack, promising stronger security measures and justice for victims.

Despite ongoing interventions, sporadic attacks have continued in parts of Plateau State, including Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, and Jos South.

The government said the easing of the curfew is part of gradual efforts to restore normalcy but warned residents to strictly adhere to the revised restriction hours.

It also urged citizens to support security agencies by reporting suspicious activities as efforts continue to stabilise affected areas.

APC Defends Wike, Says PDP Backed His Ministerial Appointment.

Published

on

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) approved the appointment of Nyesom Wike as a minister in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Yilwatda made the statement on Wednesday during a media chat in Abuja, while addressing questions about Wike’s continued membership of the PDP despite serving in an APC-led government.

He explained that the appointment was not unusual, noting that past administrations had also appointed opposition members into ministerial positions.

According to him, former ministers such as Bala Mohammed and Adamu Aliero served under PDP-led governments despite their party affiliations at the time.

“President Jonathan discovered Bala Mohammed was good enough and brought him from ANPP,” he said.

“Aliero was also appointed by President Yar’Adua from ANPP because of his experience,” he added.

Yilwatda argued that criticism of President Tinubu over Wike’s appointment was unfair, insisting it followed past political precedents.

He also cited other opposition figures currently serving in the government, saying the focus on Wike alone was selective.

The APC chairman further claimed that Wike formally notified the PDP National Working Committee in 2023 before accepting the ministerial appointment, and that the party gave its approval.

“Wike wrote the National Working Committee of the PDP before he took the appointment,” he said.

“The National Working Committee approved that he should come and serve.”

Yilwatda maintained that Wike’s position in the current administration was with the consent of the PDP, not solely the APC.
