    “The Student Leaders recounted their ordeal while in school which they said began on the 14th of August,2021 whereby a group of individuals was attacked and killed in Jos which caused counter-attacks leading to mayhem and loss of lives of some individuals, including students of the University of Jos.

    “They said with the declaration of curfew by the Plateau State Government and subsequent close down of the school, students were in a critical situation which made them seek the intervention of the state government.

    “They particularly lauded Governor Emmanuel for liaising with Plateau State Government to provide security personnel that escorted their vehicles through to the outskirts of Plateau State, expressing delight to be back home.”.
