Students of the University of Jos have been evacuated from campus following rising insecurity in Jos, as tensions continue to mount after recent deadly attacks. The evacuation was ordered after authorities shut down the institution over safety concerns linked to renewed unrest in parts of the city. Students were seen leaving their hostels in groups, carrying their belongings as they moved toward safer locations. The Plateau State Government provided transportation to support the relocation process, ensuring that students were moved out of the campus environment despite existing movement restrictions. University management explained that the decision was taken as a precaution after reports of disturbances near the school raised fears about the safety of students and staff. Officials also confirmed that security personnel have been deployed across the campus to protect facilities while the institution remains closed. The situation in Jos deteriorated shortly after a curfew imposed in response to earlier attacks was relaxed, with fresh incidents of violence reported in some areas. The unrest follows a deadly attack in Angwan Rukuba, where dozens of residents were killed, heightening fears across the state and prompting urgent action to prevent further casualties. Authorities have continued to appeal for calm while efforts are ongoing to restore stability in the affected communities.
