A deadly attack in Jos, Plateau State, on Sunday, March 29, 2026, has drawn public mourning from Nigerian businessman Obi Cubana, who shared a condolence message on Instagram for victims of the violence in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area. In a brief but heartfelt post, he wrote, "God help us; may God comfort the bereaved; may it never happen again." The incident, which occurred in the Angwan Rukuba area, has triggered national sorrow and condemnation. Public figures including Ice Prince, Mr Macaroni, Kunle Remi, and Paul Okoye have also voiced their grief and solidarity with the victims' families. The attack has intensified public discourse on security and communal safety in the region. Authorities have not yet released official figures on casualties or details on those responsible. Investigations are ongoing, with security agencies deployed to the area to maintain order and prevent further unrest.
When Obi Cubana says "may it never happen again," the weight isn't in the plea but in the repetition — Nigeria has heard this before after Jos, after Borno, after countless attacks. This is not the first time a celebrity's grief has become a proxy for national failure. If condolences were solutions, the cycle would have broken by now.
