Bukuru in Jos South Local Government Council of Plateau State was thrown into confusion yesterday as hoodlums attacked and destroyed several cars and razed buildings, following an alleged minor skirmish between them and Security officials at the Kugiya market.
New Telegraph learnt that the skirmish broke out in the community in the afternoon while personnel deployed to the Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDC) went into the locality to implement the Executive order to control the illegal erection of buildings and traffic control recently signed by the state Governor, Bar Caleb Mutfwang.
It was gathered that the irate youths, armed with cutlasses, clubs, and other dangerous weapons, resisted the Security personnel who wanted to carry out the implementation of the Execution order and resorted to violence by burning cars and shops of innocent citizens. An eyewitness, Mr Garba Tanko, told our correspondent that over 10 cars close to a supermarket in the community were razed by the hoodlums. He added that the JMDB, along with security agencies, mostly the police and men of the NCSDC, had gone to effect the Executive order when the hoodlums suddenly confronted officials of the Board and the security men.
It would be recalled that Governor Caleb Mutfwang had signed an Executive Order to control the illegal erection of buildings and traffic in the state. The Executive Order No. 003, 2024, became imperative considering the indiscriminate manner in which buildings were being erected and traffic control abysmally degenerated within the Greater Jos Master plan as well as the prevalence of building collapse in the state.
Our correspondent gathered that it took the intervention of security agents to calm the situation. However, the Plateau State Police command and other security agencies in the state are yet to make a Public statement as the situation has been brought under control.
