Residents of the Gari Ya Waye community, Angwan Rukuba in the Jos North Local Government Area have been thrown into mourning after the deadly attack on Sunday, which left many dead.

According to witnesses, the attackers stormed the community at about 7:30 PM on motorcycles, firing indiscriminately. Many were killed, while several others sustained injuries.

Following the attack, some youths blocked roads in the area and attacked motorcycle riders and passengers.

This move has led to a 48-hour curfew imposed in Jos North, while the University of Jos has also suspended all examinations scheduled for Monday and Tuesday due to the growing tension.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the Deputy Registrar of Information and Public Relations, Emmanuel Madugu, said the incident had heightened tension; therefore, staff and students are advised to stay indoors, be vigilant, and report any strange movements immediately.
