A statement to this effect was signed by Plateau State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap.
The statement averred that, “Citizens are, therefore, urged to be mindful of this development and carry out their lawful duties within the relaxed hours not affected by curfew, while ensuring to observe the enforced curfew period of dusk-to-dawn (6pm to 6am).
”Additionally, Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has directed all security agencies to strictly enforce the curfew to ensure the protection of lives and property, as well as to restore calm in the affected areas.
Residents are also advised to remain indoors during curfew hours, cooperate with security agencies, and share any useful information that will support efforts to maintain peace and order.
