Explosion Rocks Jos, Leaving Several Injured

A powerful explosion struck Jos on Tuesday morning, sending shockwaves throughout nearby areas. The blast occurred around 10:30 a.m. near the bustling Terminus market, a densely populated zone.
Eyewitnesses report multiple injuries, with some sources suggesting fatalities, though the full extent of the damage is still unclear. One witness, Gyang Buba, a local vendor, described the scene: “I was nearby when I heard a loud bang. People were running and screaming. It was terrifying.”
Emergency services, including police, fire, and ambulance teams, quickly responded to the scene. However, the Plateau State Police Command has not yet released an official statement. Efforts to contact the Command’s spokesman, Alabo Alfred, were unsuccessful, as his phone was switched off.
Sources within the police confirmed the explosion and stated that an investigation is underway. “The area has been cordoned off while we assess the situation and determine the cause of the blast,” a security source confirmed. “We urge the public to remain calm as we work to ensure safety.”
The explosion has heightened security concerns in Jos, a city that has faced periodic violence in recent years. Residents are calling for increased safety measures in response to the attack.
Further details will be provided as the investigation continues.

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
