Plateau State Violence: A Crucial Leadership Test for President Tinubu

Plateau State has endured violent attacks around Jos since May 2023. These incidents killed over 200 people in December 2023 and continued through 2024, 2025 and into 2026. Civilians remain at risk despite ongoing security efforts. Human rights groups have criticised the federal response as inadequate. The swift intervention in Rivers State highlights a gap in policy consistency. This discrepancy raises concerns about prioritisation and protection. A lasting solution requires more than curfews. It calls for intelligence-led operations, clear accountability, and community dialogue. President Tinubu’s ability to address these challenges will shape public confidence and national stability.
