1
00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Young man who identified himself as a four hundred level

2
00:00:03,680 –> 00:00:06,919
student in the Department of Statistics at the University of

3
00:00:07,040 –> 00:00:10,679
Joss Unijos in Plato State, has given accounts how he

4
00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:13,080
was told to go and collect the dead body of

5
00:00:13,119 –> 00:00:15,800
his sibling on the phone by the attackers who on

6
00:00:15,880 –> 00:00:18,839
Wednesday were seen in a viral video that mobbed and

7
00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:21,920
stoned his sibling almost to death at an ever busy

8
00:00:22,039 –> 00:00:26,239
road near the permanent site of the University of Joss. Accordingly,

9
00:00:26,559 –> 00:00:29,160
he said, the victim, who happened to be his younger sibling,

10
00:00:29,359 –> 00:00:32,719
is also a three hundred level student in the Department

11
00:00:32,759 –> 00:00:36,640
of Geology from the same University of Joss, saying his

12
00:00:36,799 –> 00:00:39,600
younger sibling only went out around eight or nine on

13
00:00:39,719 –> 00:00:42,719
Wednesday morning to resolve issue with his bank account at

14
00:00:42,799 –> 00:00:45,439
terminus area at the Joss City when he came under

15
00:00:45,479 –> 00:00:48,600
attack after the driver of the commercial tricycle or keke

16
00:00:48,840 –> 00:00:51,520
he entered abandoned him half way and asked him to

17
00:00:51,560 –> 00:00:54,320
find way out for his own escape as the rampaging

18
00:00:54,359 –> 00:00:57,880
mobs took over the road. According to the elder brother

19
00:00:57,960 –> 00:01:01,600
of the mob victim, who also introduced himself simply as Nando,

20
00:01:02,039 –> 00:01:05,400
his younger sibling, already sensing danger, called him on the

21
00:01:05,439 –> 00:01:08,799
phone that the cake driver had abandoned him half way

22
00:01:08,840 –> 00:01:12,439
before the junction of his house, that he’s currently running

23
00:01:12,480 –> 00:01:15,799
on the street towards home, adding the victim begged him

24
00:01:15,799 –> 00:01:18,840
to look for commercial motorcycle or a cardo rider to

25
00:01:18,920 –> 00:01:22,480
advance towards his direction and wait at their street junction

26
00:01:22,680 –> 00:01:25,799
to help him home. But while he made attempt to

27
00:01:25,840 –> 00:01:29,560
do as requested by his younger brother, the security operatives

28
00:01:29,599 –> 00:01:33,079
in the area prevented him, saying they can’t allow him

29
00:01:33,079 –> 00:01:36,239
go out because the situation in town was too dangerous,

30
00:01:37,040 –> 00:01:40,079
he said. While he was looking helpless, he decided to

31
00:01:40,120 –> 00:01:42,959
put a call across to his younger brother, only for

32
00:01:43,000 –> 00:01:45,560
the phones called to be answered by the attackers, who

33
00:01:45,640 –> 00:01:47,920
spoke to him in house a language that they have

34
00:01:48,120 –> 00:01:51,040
killed his brother that he should go to the scene

35
00:01:51,079 –> 00:01:53,040
to pick his younger brother’s dead body.

36
00:01:53,760 –> 00:01:54,159
Speaker 3: He said.

37
00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: He started crying and a lot of people around started

38
00:01:57,120 –> 00:02:00,519
concerning him. While the security operatives at the Senior staff

39
00:02:00,560 –> 00:02:03,879
quarters gate still prevented him from going out until there

40
00:02:03,959 –> 00:02:07,959
is normalcy in the area, he said, some sympathizers took

41
00:02:08,039 –> 00:02:10,479
him home from the point he was to the university

42
00:02:10,599 –> 00:02:13,360
staff quarters, where his neighbors who came in to also

43
00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:16,960
console him, started encouraging him not to cry again with

44
00:02:17,080 –> 00:02:21,120
the optimism that his younger brother is not dead, he said.

45
00:02:21,199 –> 00:02:23,879
One of his neighbors thereafter asked him to report the

46
00:02:23,919 –> 00:02:26,919
issue at the police station, which they did and submitted

47
00:02:26,919 –> 00:02:30,120
the snapped copy of the victim’s student identity card at

48
00:02:30,120 –> 00:02:33,400
the police station and returned home waiting for feedback from

49
00:02:33,439 –> 00:02:36,560
the police. He said he was waiting on the police

50
00:02:36,560 –> 00:02:39,759
for feedback, he decided to log in into his WhatsApp

51
00:02:39,840 –> 00:02:42,759
group chats and behold, he saw a video of his

52
00:02:42,840 –> 00:02:46,039
younger brother being interviewed at a hospital bed inside an

53
00:02:46,120 –> 00:02:49,080
undisclosed medical center and that was how he knew he

54
00:02:49,199 –> 00:02:52,800
was still alive and his whereabouts. It would be recalled

55
00:02:52,840 –> 00:02:54,879
that we had reported that it may not be wrong

56
00:02:54,960 –> 00:02:58,840
to say lack of proper accountability by the Nigeria Police Force,

57
00:02:59,360 –> 00:03:02,599
President bur La Ahmed Tenubu and the Governor of Plato State,

58
00:03:03,120 –> 00:03:06,719
Kayla Matfung is largely responsible for the daily killings in

59
00:03:06,759 –> 00:03:10,199
the troubled Joss city of Plato State. This is probably

60
00:03:10,240 –> 00:03:13,360
glaring on Wednesday, when a resident reported with a video

61
00:03:13,479 –> 00:03:17,080
evidence of a disturbing situation wherein a man was seen

62
00:03:17,199 –> 00:03:19,639
mobbed and stone to death at a very popular and

63
00:03:19,719 –> 00:03:23,080
ever busy road apparently within the area or near the

64
00:03:23,199 –> 00:03:26,919
University of Joss permanent site. Group of attackers are seen

65
00:03:27,039 –> 00:03:29,759
in the video operated for some minutes, if not up

66
00:03:29,800 –> 00:03:33,039
for an hour, used styx stones among others to hit

67
00:03:33,080 –> 00:03:36,280
the victim’s head until they were satisfied the man would

68
00:03:36,319 –> 00:03:39,759
have been dead, while vehicles were seen speeding off and

69
00:03:39,840 –> 00:03:43,120
moving away from them with no resistance or timely response

70
00:03:43,199 –> 00:03:48,039
from them Nigerian security operatives, even when the worsening security

71
00:03:48,120 –> 00:03:52,120
situations and tensions in Plato’s state have become of global concern.

72
00:03:52,639 –> 00:03:56,280
This the Plato State Command of the Nigeria Police Force

73
00:03:56,360 –> 00:03:59,960
in a statement on Wednesday only said a disagreement ensued

74
00:04:00,159 –> 00:04:04,039
between some youths in Nasarawa Guan community of Joss North

75
00:04:04,199 –> 00:04:08,439
local Government area on Wednesday and caused minor tentions in

76
00:04:08,479 –> 00:04:13,319
the town, saying unfortunately, some hoodlums and crisis merchants took

77
00:04:13,400 –> 00:04:16,959
advantage of the situation to cause fear and panic among

78
00:04:17,079 –> 00:04:21,959
traders and students within the university community. However, the Command,

79
00:04:21,959 –> 00:04:27,360
in collaboration with other security agencies swiftly intervened, arrested the situation,

80
00:04:27,480 –> 00:04:30,639
and restored calm in the area, but the Nigeria Police

81
00:04:30,720 –> 00:04:34,240
Force Command apparently kept newt on the now viral video

82
00:04:34,399 –> 00:04:36,839
of a man being mobbed and stoned to death in

83
00:04:36,879 –> 00:04:39,759
a brutal and highly provocative manner that can cause the

84
00:04:39,839 –> 00:04:43,519
reprisal attack, more so as daily killings in the state

85
00:04:43,519 –> 00:04:47,399
are attributed to religious differences. Although some persons said the

86
00:04:47,480 –> 00:04:51,120
victim was still alive, but some newspaper reported on Thursday

87
00:04:51,160 –> 00:04:54,399
morning that three persons, including the victim, were killed in

88
00:04:54,439 –> 00:04:57,959
the fresh violence that erupted in Plateau State on Wednesday.

89
00:04:59,000 –> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: Wended Dabrik.

90
00:05:00,680 –> 00:05:04,639
Speaker 2: My brother was like he wanted to go to terminos

91
00:05:05,040 –> 00:05:07,639
because he was like, he’s having an issue with his bank.

92
00:05:08,519 –> 00:05:10,399
So he said that you’re going to terminos, so that

93
00:05:11,240 –> 00:05:14,480
the one led to fight an issue and come back.

94
00:05:15,560 –> 00:05:19,160
So I’m going to terminos and like there’s how it

95
00:05:19,360 –> 00:05:20,560
is started because he left.

96
00:05:20,600 –> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: He left come around eight. It’s to mine terms.

97
00:05:24,360 –> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: So he lets to terminos and he was like the

98
00:05:27,120 –> 00:05:30,120
bank was not even up on sol because their extension

99
00:05:30,160 –> 00:05:32,360
is still going on. But he saw that the bank

100
00:05:32,480 –> 00:05:34,480
was not awkward to be a ban so as you

101
00:05:34,560 –> 00:05:39,199
want to turn and started coming back quarters and that’s

102
00:05:39,240 –> 00:05:40,120
how the thing happened.

103
00:05:40,240 –> 00:05:43,319
Speaker 3: Those see people who running everywhere. He was trying to

104
00:05:43,439 –> 00:05:47,279
escape running. He now enter KK. He managed to go

105
00:05:47,399 –> 00:05:52,639
to KK. So he entered and like the K was living.

106
00:05:52,399 –> 00:05:55,439
Speaker 2: Taking not too far from Timinosa and the JK and

107
00:05:55,480 –> 00:05:58,040
so that omar, there are those fighting people are running

108
00:05:58,040 –> 00:06:00,600
for they’re like all this kind of stuff. Nown stop

00:06:00,639 –> 00:06:03,680
and say those those he said, like he just come

110
00:06:03,759 –> 00:06:07,120

111
00:06:07,160 –> 00:06:11,000
brother came down, he saw the situation. Now pick his phone.

112
00:06:11,680 –> 00:06:14,279

00:06:21,319 –> 00:06:23,399
quite far. It’s not too far from our junctions here.

116
00:06:23,600 –> 00:06:26,399
So he’s just running like his leg so that maybe

117
00:06:26,399 –> 00:06:30,360
he reached our junctions. And he was like, please, can

Speaker 3: And I was okay, let me come down to the junction.

122
00:06:38,879 –> 00:06:42,439
Speaker 2: So when we ender calling and I came out of

123
00:06:42,480 –> 00:06:44,920
my room, I locked my room. Or when I was

124
00:06:44,959 –> 00:06:47,399
trying to go out. I reached our senior starcotter’s jets

125
00:06:47,879 –> 00:06:51,279
the securities. They couldn’t allow me to go out because

126
00:06:51,360 –> 00:06:55,319
of the condition of like all the place. Because of

127
00:06:55,319 –> 00:06:58,319
the condition of the place, it’s not as safe. So

128
00:06:58,399 –> 00:07:00,680
they say that I would I would not be going

129
00:07:00,720 –> 00:07:03,920
out of the bottle. I have to stay because if

130
00:07:03,959 –> 00:07:06,399

Speaker 2: So when I called him and the people that I

135
00:07:17,959 –> 00:07:20,600
don’t know, the people that attack him, I don’t even know,

136
00:07:21,079 –> 00:07:22,319
they don’t want to pick the call.

137
00:07:22,600 –> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: And they was like they picked the call and they

138
00:07:25,480 –> 00:07:27,680
