Pwanabeshi Agabus: Plateau community where poverty, crime, filth thrive - Daily Post Nigeria

Jos the Plateau State Capital has witnessed sectarian violence and for more than a decade has put the state in the headlines on both local andThe widely acclaimed “Home of Peace and Tourism”, had its peace punctured by series of ethno-religious unrest, wanton destruction of lives and property held sway as these ugly incidences lasted.Also, innocent people were hounded, hacked to death or maimed on account of belonging to a particular faith.

Kabong is a Berom word and it translates to a place where the Berom first settled, according to Senior Ward Head, Nyam Maurice. Paricular at the entrance of Kabong, are commercial motorcycles waiting and competing for the next available passenger to ferry into the neighbourhood. Also, due to the lack of space, people usually match on urine and the stench that oozes around is so strong and disgusting.

Apart from the nuissance of open urination by customers, it is no secret that a greater percentage of the residents, whose premises are used for business, don’t have toilet facilities nor do they have water supply. The type of crime is mostly perpetrated by the youth and might have been propped up by the level of poverty and unemployment there.Drugs such as cannabis and assorted psychotropic drugs are being sold there.

As a result of several complaints by troubled residents, a detachment of special forces of the army once raided the area and arrested so many of those drug dealers. What matters in these communities is “hurstling” to survive, and not where you belong, says Nyam Maurice, the Senior Ward Head. He however complained of neglect of his community by government, attributing it to the fact that the community is in the opposition.
