The Plateau State Police Command has warned residents to desist from making provocative comments capable of threatening the existing peace in the State.

The Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Terna Tyopev, gave the warning in an interview with newsmen on Friday in Jos. He was reacting to the Thursday’s clash between some Igbo traders and Hausa youths where two persons were killed.

DAILY POST reports that there was palpable tension in the city of Jos Thursday evening following the report that Hausa youths were attacking Igbos over the situation in the South-East.

Areas worst affected by the situation included Akpata, Teminus, Gada-Biyu and Yan-Trailer.

Tyopev said the incident was caused by “the action and comments made by those who are so bent on causing violence,” He maintained that there was no crisis in the state, but minor confusion caused by “enemies of peace”.
