Man arrested for advocating for violent protest
The Plateau State Police Command has arrested one Sulaiman Yakubu for inciting violence and calling on residents to burn down police stations, military barracks and business areas in the state during the nationwide protest planned for August 1st.
In a viral TikTok video, Yakubu called residents in the state to “test the ground” on Monday before Thursday. He stated that ”Guys, I think on Monday, we should start burning the useless filling stations in Jos North, Jos South and Jos East. Then, on the following day, we should burn the Yankwalli and Terminus markets and the rest. We should get them down to ashes.

Maybe on the third day, if they kill one of our men, we should start going to each division nearest to our side and start burning down the police stations, soldiers’ barracks.
On the 4th day, if we don’t get the response we want, we should start going to those bakeries where they make bread & b¥rn them. If there is no change, on the 5th day, we should start attacking these big men at Rayfield area.
