Gov Simon declares 24-hour curfew in two Plateau local governments

 

The Plateau state government has declared 24 hours curfew in Jos south and Jos north local government areas over violence.

 

 

 

Governor Lalong said he was forced to declare the curfew after “hoodlums attacked and molested innocent citizens who are going about their normal businesses.” He further revealed that this led to the death of 3 persons.

 

 

 

The Governor said;

 

 

 

“Government is left with no choice than to impose a curfew to stop further loss of lives and properties.

 

“By this directive, all forms of protests are hereby banned in the two Local Governments Areas of Jos North and Jos South.”
