Nigeria's governor declares a 24-hour curfew.
Following a breakdown in peace and order throughout the State, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri imposed a 24-hour curfew.
The development followed the looting of warehouses by residents, who carted assorted foodstuffs and other valuables under the guise of looking for ‘palliatives’.
The curfew will start immediately on Sunday, July 30, 2023, according to a statement made on Sunday afternoon by Mr. Humwashi Wonosikou, the governor's chief press secretary.
In the statement, Governor Fintiri said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital city as they attacked people with machete and broke into private business premises and homes, carting away people’s belongings.
“With the curfew imposed, there will be no movement throughout the state,” he declared.
He said only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew.
