Youths Protest in Front of Govt House With Dead Bodies

Angry youths on Wednesday protested in front of the Plateau State Government House over the unrestrained rise of insecurity in the state.

The protest follows an attack on Yelwa Zagwam, a community in Jos North local government area on Tuesday night.

The attack reportedly perpetrated by armed herdsmen left a minimum of 35 persons dead.

The angry youths first protested at the Plateau State House of Assembly with the dead bodies, demanding to see the speaker and other lawmakers of the state.

They proceeded to the State Government House in Little Rayfield, tearing down Governor Lalong’s posters to protest over the incessant killings, chanting “Enough is Enough, killings in Plateau State must stop.”

The governor announced the re-imposition of 24-hours curfew in Jos North Local Government Area, in a bid to douse the situation.
