The Plateau State Government has imposed an immediate dusk-to-dawn curfew on Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu Local Government Areas to maintain public order and address emerging security threats.
Joyce Lohya Ramnap, Commissioner for Information and Communication, said the restriction of movement, effective Monday, September 21, will run from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. daily until further notice.
The State Government says the measure is to enable security agencies stabilize the affected areas, protect lives and prevent a breakdown of law and order.
Residents have been advised to plan their commercial, agricultural and personal activities around the curfew hours.
Security operatives have also been directed to strictly enforce the curfew and the ban on motorcycles throughout the affected areas, while operating professionally.
