The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has ordered a large-scale security operation in Jos North, Plateau State after a deadly attack in Angwan Rukuba left multiple residents dead. Disu condemned the violence as tragic and unacceptable, offering condolences to the Plateau government and affected families. He deployed Deputy Inspector-General of Police Umar Shehu Nadada to the area to oversee security coordination and assess the situation firsthand. Tactical units including the Police Mobile Force and intelligence operatives have been deployed alongside other agencies to hunt for the killers and prevent further unrest. The IGP assured residents that operations would persist until peace is restored, directing commanders to boost police visibility and engage closely with communities. Authorities have appealed for calm, cooperation from the public, and immediate reporting of suspicious activities while warning against mob justice.
\nDisu's response reads like a script for crisis management rather than a plan to stop the next attack. With tactical teams flooding Jos North, the IGP's emphasis on visibility and community engagement suggests the police know they are playing catch-up, not leading. Unless the manhunt yields swift arrests, this escalation will only confirm what residents already suspect: the killers are one step ahead.
