Ahead of August 1 nationwide planned protest, the Plateau State Police Command arrested one Sulaiman Yakubu for calling on residents to burn down police stations, military barracks, and business areas in the state during the nationwide protest planned for August 1st.
In a viral TikTok video, Yakubu called residents in the state to “test the ground” on Monday before Thursday.
He stated that ”Guys, I think on Monday, we should start bvrning the us3less filling stations in Jos North, Jos South, and Jos East. Then, on the following day, we should bvrn the Yankwalli and Terminus markets and the rest. We should get them down to ashes.
“Maybe on the third day, if they k!ll one of our men, we should start going to each division nearest to our side and start bvrning down the us3less police stations, soldiers’ barracks, and STF.
“On the fourth day, if we don’t get the response we want, we should start going to those bakeries where they make bread and bvrn them. We need to torch down those us3less places. If there is no change on the fourth day, on the fifth day, we should start att@cking these big men at Rayfield area. This b@d government, we must end it. No going back. Men must be active.”
Following his arrest, Yakubu admitted that ”I posted on TikTok that we should come out for a protest on Monday. We will bvrn filling stations and markets. We will bvrn police stations if our men are k!lled.’ He claimed that a friend warned him that the video would impl!cate him, so he deleted it.”
