Academic activities at the University of Jos (UNIJOS) are set to resume fully following a return to calm after the deadly March 29 attack on the Angwan Rukuba community of Plateau State, which left over 33 people dead, including two students of the institution.

UNIJOS Vice-Chancellor, Tanko Ishaya, confirmed during a press briefing that the violence had a direct impact on the university community, resulting in the death of two students and injuries to three others.

“The aftermath of the killings left over 25 persons dead, and so many with various degrees of injuries,” he said on Thursday, while commiserating with affected families and communities.

He said, “We unfortunately lost two of our dear students,” while others, including a staff member, are currently receiving treatment for gunshot and related injuries.

The deceased students – Abel Joro Gershon and Adeyomo Oluwafemi Temitope – were killed in separate incidents linked to the crisis.

The attack on Angwan Rukuba, a host community to many students and staff, triggered a government-imposed curfew in Jos North Local Government Area, forcing the university to suspend and reschedule its ongoing first-semester examinations.
