Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state has reinstated the 24-hour curfew earlier relaxed in Jos North Local Government Area following growing tensions arising from the attack on Yelwa Zangam village where many people were killed and properties destroyed.
A statement by Director of Press & Public Affairs to the governor Makut
Simon Macham Wednesday, said the 24 hour will come into force from
4pm Wednesday 25th August 2021 until further notice.
He said the decision became necessary following eminent threat to lives
and properties within the Local Government Area and the need to
forestall the breakdown of law and order.
He added that it will also enable security agencies deploy appropriately
to maintain security as the search for the attackers of the villagers
continues.
He said the 6pm to 6am curfew in Jos South and Bassa LGAs still
remains in place until further notice.
