Outside Jos an alert was raised that the bandits who used to play the game of hit and run are planning to hit Bokkos council area from the mid of December till the end of the yuletide.

According to the Intel people should celebrate only if they are on red alert meaning they must never drop their guards against the enemy

“Information reaching us that all the District and villages in Bokkos LGA and Mangu LGA should be proactive most especially from Saturday 14/12/2024 till January 29th 2025 that Fulani militias are fully prepared to cause attack on innocent people.

“GSM users should darken the screens of their mobile phones to reduce the brightness of light at night to conserve power even as phones should be fully charged daily.” Said the Intel from a reliable security source.

They also suggested that phones should be fully loaded with enough credit, at least 500 naira daily to be able to communicate with neighbors in case of distress.

The Intel also suggested that community leaders both elders and youths should collect contact numbers of the closest security personnel to them so they can easily raise alarm.
