After All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for governor, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, defeated Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Governor Caleb Mutfwang, in the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Sunday, massive protests broke out in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.
Prior to Sunday’s ruling, the state capital’s key landmarks were under increased protection, with stern-looking security officers stationed at key intersections.
However, immediately after the news of the judgement broke out, tension enveloped the state as people were seen in groups discussing the development.
In Jos South LGA, youths supporting PDP thronged Gyel Roundabout in large numbers to register their displeasure over the judgement.
A similar protest was also recorded in Angwan Rukuba junction in Jos North and Riyom LGAs of the state capital.
