The Digest:
Barely 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu told grieving families in Jos that attacks "will never happen again," armed men killed at least three persons in the Nyango Gyel community of Jos South Local Government Area. Tinubu had met victims of the Angwan Rukuba attack at Yakubu Gowon Airport on Thursday, saying: "This experience will not repeat itself." The attackers invaded Nyango Gyel around 10:40 pm on Friday, shooting sporadically before fleeing. Police had not commented as of press time.
Key Points:
- The fresh killings undermine Tinubu's assurance to Plateau victims.
- The president's promise now faces a credibility test.
- Rural communities in Jos South, Riyom, and Barkin Ladi remain vulnerable.
- The cycle of attacks continues despite presidential intervention.
- Security agencies face mounting pressure to halt the violence.
Watch for the president's response to the fresh attacks and whether security reinforcements are deployed to Jos South.
