Bukuru in Jos South Local Government Council of Plateau State, was thrown into confusion on Monday as rampaging hoodlums destroyed several cars and razed buildings, following an alleged minor skirmish between them and Security Operatives at the Kugiya market .
Our correspondent gathered that the crisis broke out at the community at about 2pm while operatives deployed to the Jos Metropolitan Development Board JMDB went into the locality to implement the Executive order recently signed by the state Governor Bar Caleb Mutfwang.
It was gathered that the irate youths, armed with cutlasses, clubs and others dangerous weapons who resisted the Security Operatives who wanted to carry out the implementation of the Execution order ,rather resorted into 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 down 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 went berserk and confronted officials of the Board and the security men.
It could be recalled that the 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 the prevalence of building collapse in the state.
Daylight Reporters gathered that it took the intervention of security operative to calm the situation .
Efforts to contact the spokesman of the Plateau State Police Command, DSP Alfred Alabo, before sending this report was abortive
