“The curfew has been relaxed, from 7am to 3pm, while residents are hereby permitted to carry out their lawful activities within the stipulated hours.”
A statement to this effect was signed by Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, who is Commissioner for Information and Communications, on Tuesday evening and issued to Journalists in Jos.

“The government urges citizens to remain calm, vigilant, and law-abiding, as security agencies continue to monitor the situation to ensure sustained peace and order.
”The government also appreciated the cooperation and resilience of the public during this period and reiterates its commitment to the protection of lives and property across the State.”
In the same vein, the Plateau State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that, following the relaxation of the curfew announced by the State Government, the Command and sister security agencies will commence enforcement of the revised order effective from 1st April, 2026.
