Fresh chaos has hit the streets of Jos, the Plateau State capital, just hours after the government thought things were calm enough to relax the 48-hour curfew. The city, which was already mourning the victims of Sunday’s deadly attack in Anguwan Rukuba, turned upside down on Wednesday as sporadic violence broke out in several areas. While people were just trying to get back to their normal lives, the sound of trouble sent everyone into a frenzy. Reports from Channels Television suggest there are unconfirmed claims of new casualties, and the vibe in the city went from “back to business” to “run for your life” in record time. Traders who had just opened their shops were seen abandoning their goods and fleeing as panic took over the streets. Even though security forces are currently flooding the affected hotspots to get a grip on the situation, the authorities are still keeping quiet and haven’t officially confirmed the details of this latest blowout. This fresh wave of unrest is a huge blow to the peace efforts, proving that the security situation in the state is still very much on a knife-edge. Residents are now back on high alert, wondering if the peace they were promised is actually coming anytime soon.
