A Stern Condemnation Of The Anguwan Rukuba Atrocity

The Jasawa Community Development Association has added its voice to the growing outcry following the violent invasion of the Anguwan Rukuba area in Jos North. In a statement signed by President Alhaji Isyaku Inuwa Dan’anacha and Secretary Sani Suleiman, the group described the assault as "disturbing, criminal, and inhuman." According to eyewitness reports, the attackers arrived on motorcycles around 7:30 pm on Sunday, March 29, 2026, opening fire indiscriminately on residents who were conducting their evening activities. The JCDA emphasized that such acts are a direct threat to the fragile peace and coexistence that the state has been working to rebuild.

Warning Against Vigilantism And Reprisal Attacks

In the wake of the tragedy, the JCDA expressed strong disapproval of individuals who have taken the law into their own hands. Following the massacre, several reports emerged of groups blocking major roads and attacking innocent passersby in perceived retaliation. The association labeled these actions as "unacceptable," arguing that they only serve to compound the tragedy and endanger more lives. They called on security agencies to restore order immediately and urged citizens to remain calm, stressing that the cycle of violence must be broken to prevent a total breakdown of law and order in the state capital.

Investigation Into Alleged Foreign Interference

A significant detail raised in the JCDA’s statement involves a viral video reportedly filmed at the scene of the attack. The association has called on the government and security agencies to investigate the involvement of a "foreigner" seen in the footage making what they described as inciting commentary. The group believes this element is critical to understanding the motives behind the attack and identifying those bent on causing disharmony. By requesting a formal probe into these claims, the JCDA is pushing for a more comprehensive intelligence gathering approach to prevent future escalations of terror.
