The Adamawa State Government has eased the 24-hour curfew imposed on Sunday following the looting of some government and private facilities by some hoodlums in the state capital, Yola.
The relaxation of the curfew, announced in the early hours of Monday, followed a meeting between security chiefs and Government officials led by the Deputy Governor, Prof Kaletapwa George Farauta.
This was announced in a statement by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou.
“Addressing the press shortly after the meeting, the Deputy Governor announced that the curfew has been reviewed from 6pm to 6am and will be reviewed hourly while authorities will maintain an increased security presence to ensure compliance to Government’s directive and that criminals do not disrupt the peace of the state,” Wonosikou stated.
He said the Deputy Governor urged residents to reopen their businesses and parents to send their children to school.
“She warned hoodlums and the public to abide by the curfew and remain courteous and cooperative if approached and questioned by security personnel.
“Prof Farauta noted that Government will not fold its arms and allow miscreants disrupt the peace of the state,” Wonosikou stated.
