Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has confirmed that no arrests have been made in connection with the recent attack in Jos. He stated that security agencies are pursuing leads based on "actionable intelligence" to identify and apprehend those responsible. The attack, which occurred in the state capital, has raised concerns among residents over rising insecurity. Mutfwang urged the public to remain calm as investigations continue. He did not provide a timeline for when suspects might be apprehended. The governor also called on citizens to support law enforcement with information. No official casualty figures have been released by the government.
A governor announcing no arrests while asking for public cooperation is becoming a familiar script in crisis responses. Caleb Mutfwang's reliance on "actionable intelligence" without tangible results so far offers little comfort to Jos residents who have lived through repeated cycles of violence. When attacks occur and no one is held accountable, the message is clear: impunity remains intact. This pattern does not bode well for public trust in security institutions.
