Speaking during a meeting with community and religious leaders at the Government House in Jos, Lalong said while two persons were killed several others were injured and hospitalized.
Stressing that his government would ensure the protection of lives and property, Lalong urged residents of the state, irrespective of religion, ethnic and economic status to remain calm.
“Community leaders must ensure peace in their domains, I as a governor, I cannot be everywhere, you must ensure that peace reigns. Let us talk to our youth to avoid taking laws into their hands.”
“Government will handle the situation effectively, nobody is above the law.
“We will ensure maximum security measures in all parts of the state to ensure that no citizen is harmed. As I speak with you, similar meetings are ongoing in all our local government councils.”
Following violence between Hausa and Igbos in Jos, on Thursday, the governor had declared a dusk to dawn curfew in the state.
