There was tension in Anguwan Rukuba, in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, following a deadly shooting incident on Sunday.
It was learnt that unidentified gunmen, reportedly riding on a motorcycle, shot and killed an unspecified number of youths in the area.
A resident said the attack occurred around the Anguwan Rukuba junction in the evening.
“The attackers just rode past and started shooting sporadically. People were running in different directions.”
In the aftermath of the attack, angry youths reportedly blocked major roads within the community, raising fears of escalating tension.
As of the time of filing this report, the Commissioner of Police, Bassey Ewah, and the Police Public Relations Officer had yet to respond to calls seeking official confirmation and details of the incident.
The latest attack comes weeks after no fewer than 20 security operatives and vigilantes were reportedly killed when heavily armed bandits ambushed a joint patrol team in Wanka and the surrounding communities of the Garga area in the Kanam Local Government Area of the state.
