Plateau State has implemented a dusk-to-dawn curfew in Barkin Ladi, Bokkos, and Mangu Local Government Areas due to escalating attacks and killings. Within two days, over 20 individuals, including women and children, lost their lives in Mangu, Barkin Ladi, Bokkos, and Riyom LGAs, and numerous houses were set ablaze. The Plateau State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, announced the curfew, which comes into effect immediately and restricts movement between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. until further notice.
The aim is to maintain public order and prevent a breakdown of law and order. Ramnap stated that the Plateau State Government has taken this decisive step led by His Excellency Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang to allow law enforcement agencies to stabilize the area, protect lives, and curb emerging security threats. All residents are expected to abide by the government's directive for their own safety, and security personnel will enforce the curfew with professionalism.
