Breaking: Mutfwang Uncovers How Fake NDLEA Operatives Carried Out Jos Killings

Caleb Mutfwang has disclosed that the gunmen behind the recent deadly attack in Jos disguised themselves as operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to gain access to the community before carrying out the assault.

The attack, which took place in Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area, left at least 28 people dead and several others injured. The governor confirmed that no arrests have been made so far.

The incident has drawn widespread condemnation, prompting a visit by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who met with victims’ families, traditional leaders, and government officials, while directing security agencies to bring the perpetrators to justice.

In an interview on Channels Television, Mutfwang explained that the attackers exploited residents’ familiarity with NDLEA operations in nearby areas. He said the gunmen adopted a similar approach, arriving hooded and firing in a manner that made residents initially believe it was a routine NDLEA operation.

According to him, this deception delayed any resistance, allowing the attackers to cause significant damage before fleeing the scene. He described the incident as deeply unfortunate.

Mutfwang added that security agencies are working with credible intelligence to track down those responsible, although he declined to disclose details of the investigation.

He noted that the attack appeared carefully planned and executed, with the gunmen demonstrating a high level of coordination and expertise. He also said both residents and security personnel were caught off guard, as the state had enjoyed relative peace in the months leading up to the attack.

While acknowledging public anger, the governor urged residents to remain calm and avoid taking the law into their own hands. He stressed that the attackers likely intended to destabilise the state and disrupt ongoing peace efforts.
