Government Review Curfew In 3 LGAs In Adamawa

By Muhammad Babangida Muhammad

The Adamawa State Government has reviewed the curfew regime imposed on the three Council areas of Yola North, Yola South and Girei following the activities of Shila Boys and other Miscreants in the society using Tricycles and Motorcycles.

According to a statement by Press Secretary to the Governor Mr Humwashi Wonosikou, the curfew which was from eleven o’clock in the night to five o’clock in the morning during Ramadan Fast has now been reviewed to commence from ten o’clock at night to five o’clock in the morning with immediate effect.

It added that the review of the restriction of movement is necessitated by the desire of Government to checkmate rising activities of hoodlums terrorising these areas.

The statement explained that Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri while approving the review, directed Security Agencies to ensure strict compliance with the order under The Adamawa State Restriction of Movement of Tricycles and Motorcycles Executive Order Number one of twenty-twenty one warning that anybody found breaching the peace or violating the curfew shall face the full wrath of the law.

The Governor added that Security agencies will continue to discharge their duties and residents are urged to cooperate with them to maintain the status of our State as one of the most peaceful in Nigeria.

He appealed to residents not to indulge in any action that may turn back the clock, but to keep living in harmony and strengthen the unity that Adamawa are known for.
