BYM Press Statement: Berom Youth Moulders Association (BYM), Jishe Branch Calls for Calm and Compliance with Curfew in Plateau State

Jos, Plateau State – March 31, 2026 – Following the tragic gunmen attack on the Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area on Sunday, March 29, 2026, which claimed at least 26–30 lives and left several others injured, the Berom Youth Moulders Association (BYM), Jishe Branch, has issued a press statement urging restraint and adherence to security directives.

In the statement, the association called on all its members, particularly those residing in Plateau State, to remain calm, vigilant, and law-abiding amid the current security situation.

“We strongly advise all our members to prioritize their safety and well-being at this critical time,” the statement read. “As an association, we stand in solidarity with all affected communities and urge everyone to embrace peace, tolerance, and mutual respect. Violence and unrest only threaten the unity and progress we all strive to achieve.”

The BYM Jishe Branch specifically urged strict compliance with the 48-hour curfew imposed by the Plateau State Government across Jos North LGA. The curfew, which took effect at midnight on March 29, 2026, and is set to last until April 1, 2026, was introduced to restore order and protect lives and property.

“We encourage our members to remain indoors, avoid unnecessary movement, and stay updated through credible information channels,” the statement continued. “Let us also use this moment to pray for lasting peace, stability, and harmony in Plateau State and Nigeria at large.”

The association reiterated its commitment to the welfare and safety of its members and pledged to continue monitoring the situation closely while providing necessary updates.
