In a statement signed by Barrister Lawal Ishaq Director, ICT & NGO Matters, JNI, Plateau State he refuted the alleged planned rally by the Muslim community in Jos.

He said; “It has come to the attention of JNI Plateau State under the leadership of His Royal Highness, the Emir of Wase, Dr. Muhammad Sambo Abdullahi, that some faceless individuals are announcing a purported “protest match” with the Jos Central Mosque as the take-off point.”

“The messages which have gone virile in social media, notably the WhatsApp is not true. JNI as the custodian of the Jos Central Mosque has not given permission to any individual or groups to carry out any form of activities within its premises.”

“JNI is firmly committed to ensuring that lasting peace is restored to Jos and environs and it is therefore calling on all citizens to observe the various curfews imposed by the government on Jos North, Jos South, and Bassa local government areas. All should please disregard that message in circulation as nothing but a handiwork of mischief makers and crisis merchants,” he said.
