Security personnel, including the Nigerian Army, reportedly arrived at around 8:45 p.m. to restore order and secure the affected community.<\/p>\n<p>Casualty figures from other affected areas remain unclear, as some victims were evacuated during the attack while others were taken to nearby mortuaries.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the Plateau state government imposed a 48-hour curfew across Jos North, effective from midnight on March 29 through April 1, in a bid to prevent further breakdown of law and order.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with ACI Africa, the sister service of EWTN News in Africa, on March 30, Archbishop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholic-hierarchy.org\/bishop\/baudu.htmlhttps:\/www.catholic-hierarchy.org\/bishop\/baudu.html\">Matthew Ishaya Audu<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholic-hierarchy.org\/diocese\/djosn.html\">Archdiocese of Jos<\/a> underscored the importance of relying on verified information amid conflicting reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the details are not there. If I make a statement, I should do so with conviction and provide a clearer position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Making reference to early reports about the number of deaths, the archbishop warned against relying on unverified figures circulating, particularly on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s true that yesterday \u2026 unarmed men, that\u2019s what they say, attacked one place, and the reports are saying about 11 people were killed, but we don\u2019t know the details,\u201d Audu explained.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the curfew imposed by the Plateau state government has limited movement and made independent verification difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the morning, I have not been able to even come out. I cannot even say to my own JDPC that they can brief me better,\u201d he said, referring to the Church\u2019s Justice, Development, and Peace Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Audu expressed concern about misinformation, warning that inaccurate reports could worsen tensions.\u00a0\u201cSometimes these people, with social media, just write anything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also cautioned that while the curfew is intended to restore order, it could create vulnerabilities if not carefully managed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is heavy restriction\u2026 not even movement of anybody, except maybe the police. They don\u2019t even want to see you walking. As a result, if they don\u2019t [manage the curfew well], other people can take advantage\u2026 and then more killing will take place, and more innocent people will die,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p>The archbishop urged security agencies to remain vigilant and ensure residents are protected during the movement restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of the attack \u2014 coinciding with the beginning of Holy Week \u2014 has heightened anxiety among residents.<\/p>\n<p>However, Audu refrained from attributing the violence to religious motives despite circulating rumors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were talks\u2026 that after fasting, they are going to attack us, the Christians &#8230; I don\u2019t know what it is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Remaining cautions, he added: \u201cPlease, I don\u2019t want to add more problems to what we already have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amid the uncertainty, the Church leader called on residents \u2014 especially Christians observing Holy Week \u2014 to turn to prayer. \u201cLet them pray\u2026 That is what we need now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on the spiritual significance of the season, he added: \u201cThe cross is only a way to the Resurrection. We believe all the challenges of life, including what we are facing now, will become a thing of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Audu continued: \u201cIf we let ourselves hope and believe, just like God raised Jesus from the dead, he will raise us above our challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also joined his prayers with those for peace across Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe pray that God will restore peace to our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Angwan Rukuba incident adds to ongoing security concerns in Plateau state, a region that has experienced recurrent episodes of communal and ethno-religious violence. Authorities are yet to release a comprehensive official account of the situation as investigations continue.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang condemned the attack, describing it as \u201cbarbaric and unprovoked,\u201d and assured the public that security agencies are actively pursuing those responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Following a visit to the affected community on Monday, the governor expressed deep sorrow over the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I visited Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area with a heavy heart following the heinous attack on innocent citizens,\u201d he said. \u201cI stood with grieving families, listened to their pain, and shared in their loss. No words can truly capture the depth of sorrow in moments like this, but I want every affected family to know you are not alone. Your pain is my pain, and the pain of Plateau state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pledged justice for the victims, stating: \u201cI assure you that those responsible for this evil act will not go unpunished. My administration will pursue justice relentlessly until the perpetrators are brought to book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mutfwang also outlined measures to support victims and their families.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will also ensure that the lives lost are honored with dignity through a befitting burial. Furthermore, the Plateau state government will take full responsibility for the medical treatment of all those currently receiving care as a result of this attack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Calling for unity, he urged citizens and community leaders to collaborate with authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call on all citizens \u2014 our traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community stakeholders \u2014 to work with us. Security is a shared responsibility, and together, we must rise above division and confront this challenge with unity and resolve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The governor reaffirmed his administration\u2019s commitment to peace and stability in the state, adding: \u201cLet me reaffirm: My administration remains fully committed to restoring peace, strengthening security, and rebuilding trust across Plateau state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Residents have been advised to remain calm and cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information to support ongoing investigations into the attack.<\/p>\n<p><em>Abah Anthony John contributed to this story.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciafrica.org\/news\/20979\/palm-sunday-attack-in-nigerias-jos-archdiocese-leaves-11-dead-curfew-imposed\">was first published<\/a> by ACI Africa, the sister service of EWTN News in Africa, and has been adapted by EWTN News.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JOS, Nigeria \u2014 At least 11 people are feared dead and several others injured following a deadly attack by suspected gunmen in Gari Ya Waye community Angwan Rukuba, served by Nigeria\u2019s\u00a0Catholic Archdiocese of Jos.
