Some hoodlums on Monday set on fire several cars in the Bukuru metropolis, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
TheNewsGuru.Com (TNG) gathered that the hoodlums suspected to be against the city renewal drive led by the state Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, attacked passersby, injuring many in the process.
Trouble started after some members of the Jos City Renewal Committee attempted to clear a site in the Bukuru community, but encountered resistance from hoodlums who attacked the officials burning cars and setting houses ablaze.
According to The Punch, a resident who witnessed the incident, Usman Ibrahim, said that when the officials were sighted, the hoodlums started stoning them.
Usman said, “It was this afternoon in the Bukuru community around 2 pm. We saw some officials of the Jos Metropolitan Development Board as they arrived in the community and moved to a site which they earlier cleared before.
“As soon as they began to mark the site, some hoodlums emerged and started throwing stones at the officials and said they would not allow any project in the area. Before you knew it, they started burning cars parked along the road and attacking innocent passers-by.
“They also set some houses ablaze. So everybody started running and that is what happened.”
