ABUJA, NIGERIA, 30 March 2026 (NPA) — All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, has condemned in the strongest terms the tragic attack on residents of Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area.

In a statement issued on Monday, Yilwatda described the incident as a “barbaric act of violence” that claimed innocent lives and left families in grief. Reports confirmed that the attack prompted a 48-hour curfew in Jos North, with police verifying multiple deaths and injuries.

“My heartfelt condolences go to the families who have lost loved ones in this painful incident,” the statement read. “No words can truly heal the grief and trauma caused by such a wicked act, but I pray that God grants the bereaved families strength and comfort.”

Yilwatda expressed solidarity with the Angwan Rukuba community and all residents of Jos North, assuring them of his prayers and support. He emphasised that the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains committed to tackling banditry, terrorism, and all forms of criminality nationwide.

He noted that security agencies are being reinforced and every necessary step is being taken to restore peace, protect lives, and bring perpetrators to justice.

The APC Chairman urged Nigerians to remain united, vigilant, and prayerful, while calling on God to comfort the people of Angwan Rukuba and restore lasting peace and harmony across the country.
