Considering the improvement in security situation within the Jos-Bukuru metropolis, the Plateau State government has relaxed the earlier imposed 24-hour curfew.
In a statement signed by Director of Press and Public Affairs Gyang Bere, effective from Wednesday, residents of the area can move freely between the hours of 2 pm and 6 pm daily until further notice.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang ordered the relaxation after consultation with security agencies.
He emphasised the importance of maintaining vigilance to prevent any potential breakdown of law and order, with assurances that the government will continue to review the curfew as the situation improves.
The governor urged residents within the Jos-Bukuru metropolis, to cooperate with security personnel, and report any suspicious activities for prompt action as government’s unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of all citizens is guaranteed.
It would be recalled that Mutfwang imposed a 24-hour curfew on the Jos-Bukuru metropolis on Monday following security breaches around the affected area.
The violent protest had led to hoodlums looting and destroying properties in the guise of partaking in the nationwide agitation.
