#EndBadGovernance: Plateau Declares 24-Hour Curfew

Following rising violence and a breakdown of public order the Plateau State Government has announced a 24-hour curfew across the Jos-Bukuru Metropolis.

In a statement released on Sunday midnight by Gyang Bere, Director of Press and Public Affairs for Governor Caleb Mutfwang, said the curfew, which took effect from midnight on August 4, 2024, is part of the government’s efforts to restore calm and ensure the safety of residents.

He said the decision was made in response to violent incidents that marred the area during the ongoing nationwide protests.

The protests, initially peaceful, have been exploited by criminal elements who have engaged in looting and attacks on civilians,

He directed security agencies in the State to ensure the total enforcement of the curfew across Jos/Bukuru Metropolis.

He warned those planning to unleash further terror on innocent citizens to desist immediately or face the full wrath of the law.

The Governor also called on the relevant security agencies to remain vigilant and proactive in their duties to prevent any potential disruptions to law and order.

Mutfwang expressed gratitude to the citizens of Plateau State, particularly the clergy and imams, for their unwavering support of government’s policies and programs.
