The police however assured Jos Muslims that they will have a violence-free Sallah celebration.

“Following series of meetings with Muslims, Christian leaders and other stakeholders of Plateau State, the state Police Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, has put in place comprehensive security strategies towards ensuring a peaceful and violence-free Sallah celebration,” the Police Command said in a statement it released yesterday.
