Tension flared again in Jos, Plateau State, on Wednesday as hoodlums launched fresh attacks on motorists and residents across several parts of the city, despite the recent relaxation of the curfew.
According to reports, a young man was brutally killed along the road leading to the University of Jos Permanent Site after he was attacked without provocation. The incident has further heightened fear among residents already unsettled by the rising insecurity.
In areas such as Terminus, Bauchi Road, and Gangere, mobs reportedly smashed the windscreens of passing vehicles and attacked pedestrians, forcing many people to flee for safety.

The violence brought business activities to a standstill in affected areas, as shop owners shut their doors to avoid being caught in the unrest. Banks in the volatile locations also temporarily closed, leaving customers stranded.
Residents identified the worst-hit areas as the UNIJOS corridor, Bauchi Road, Farin Gada, Tina Junction, and Chobe. Movement in these areas has reduced significantly, with many choosing to stay indoors as fear spreads across the city.
