Breaking News:
There is an ongoing faceoff between military operatives and residents of Heipang community near Plateau State Polytechnic, Jos over an attempted arms search instructed by State authorities.
Sources in the community say soldiers arrived the village this morning attempting to raid houses but have been resisted by the villagers.
The Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong yesterday requested that the President, Muhammad Buhari should direct a house-to-house search of local communities for illegal firearms.
The request was last night rumoured to have been followed up with a directive by the Minister of Interior, Abdulraman Danbazzau for communities to be ransacked.
The request and the following rumours sparked tension across the state as locals who have been the victims of Fulani attacks were believed to be the prime targets.
