A violent clash between rival Sara-Suka groups in the Yantifa community of Jos North Local Government Area, Plateau State, has resulted in one death and three injuries.
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, April 1, 2025, as members of the groups, armed with machetes, engaged in a brutal attack, causing widespread panic and forcing residents to flee the area.
A local vigilante, Lawan Chizo, confirmed the incident and said security forces, including soldiers, were deployed to restore order.
He noted that the clash involved members of the Sara-Suka groups from Anguwan Rogo and Yantifa, who have been engaged in ongoing conflicts.
“There is still fear among residents, but normalcy has been restored,” Chizo stated.
In response to the violence, the Plateau State Commissioner of Police has called for an emergency meeting with community leaders to address the activities of Sara-Suka in the area.
The latest violence comes just two days after three members of Sara-Suka were killed in another clash near the Al-Mohap praying ground.
