Tension has gripped parts of Jos following the decision by Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang to relax the curfew imposed after recent deadly attacks, despite concerns over inadequate security deployment. Residents in affected areas expressed fear that the easing of restrictions may expose communities to renewed violence, especially as the security situation remains fragile.
The curfew had been earlier imposed to contain unrest and prevent further attacks, with authorities citing the need to restore order. However, reports indicate that many residents believe security presence on the ground is still insufficient to guarantee safety, raising questions about the timing of the relaxation. Concerns have also been heightened by the recent pattern of coordinated attacks in the state, which have left several people dead and displaced many others.
Security experts and community leaders have urged the government to strengthen deployment and intelligence efforts before fully easing restrictions. They warn that premature relaxation without adequate protection could worsen the situation, stressing the need for sustained vigilance as Plateau State continues to grapple with recurring violence and instability.
