Plateau Govt. Imposes 24-hour Curfew on 2 LGAs

The Plateau State Government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Jos North and Jos South Local Government Areas.

The decision was announced late Sunday night in a press statement by Director of Press and Public Affairs to Governor Caleb Mutfwang, Gyang Bere.

According to the statement, the curfew was imposed after criminals, armed with daggers, machetes, and other weapons, broke into shops and restaurants on Bauchi Road and Zololo Junction in Jos North.

“The imposition of this curfew is in the best interest of all citizens,” the statement read, adding that it would also prevent the situation from deteriorating.

Governor Mutfwang issued a stern warning to those planning further violence, urging them to desist immediately or face severe legal consequences.

The state experienced four days of peaceful #EndBadGovernance protests until the recent outbreak of looting and vandalism.
