Normalcy has returned to the commercial city of Jos, the Plateau State capital after Thursday’s public anxiety over a possible breakdown of law and order following the recent clashes and reprisals in Abia and Rivers states.

People and Power found that the tension reached a crescendo on Thursday after one person who is currently receiving treatment at the ECWA Evangel Hospital popularly called ‘Jan Kwanu’ was allegedly stabbed during a heated argument involving some youths around the Katako area of the city.

This Friday, people were seen going about their normal businesses around the Tin City even as armed soldiers and security personnel were seen at major junctions and flashpoints across the metropolis.

A drive around the city showed that banks and shops around the ever busy Ahmadu Bello Way, Terminus and Rwang Pam Street were open for business. However, at Dilimi Road which is home to motor spare parts dealers, some shops were under lock and key while others opened for skeletal transactions.

The State Governor, Simon Lalong had on Thursday imposed a dusk – to – dawn curfew around  Jos and Bukuru  to avert any possible threat to the fragile peace that had existed in the state.
