JOS CRISIS AGAIN (NIGERIA)

Violence, again, erupts in Jos, Plateau State capital, today leading to looting and burning of houses - and dislocation of hundreds of people. Security officers have however been deployed to the scene and a police officer said the crisis has been contained.

The communal harmony and peace which the mining town used to have has broken down following several inter-ethnic clashes over the years. Security agencies have identified disagreement over indigeneship, ownership of Jos, politics, ignorance and unemployment as the major causes of the mayhem.




Hundreds of lives and property worth millions of naira were lost in the last major riots in the town, on November 28, 2008 which occurred over a local election. Both state and federal government set up parallel committees to investigate this. The state panel, headed by Bola Ajibola completed its work last year and had submitted its recommendation to the state government. The presidential panel is still conducting its sitting into the crisis.


There was even as some women in Vwang district protested alleged extra-judicial killings by security men following Monday’s killing of a young man in Bukuru. The women who wore all black attires lamented that those sent to defend them were now killing them.

There was a near showdown between the police guards at the Police Staff College and the military men who were said to have gone to the college in two armed personnel carriers, APCs, with number NA 25-950322 and NA 25-95032333 and two Hilux trucks with number FGN 373A0/3 and PL274101.
