Plateau Governor, Muftwang Relaxes Curfew In Mangu
The Plateau State Government has relaxed a 24-hour curfew imposed on the Mangu Local Government Area of the state.
This was revealed in a statement issued on Friday by the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, saying the curfew is to be observed from 4 pm to 8 am until further notice.
The statement further read that the review followed an improvement in the security situation in the Mangu LGA after strategic engagements with community leaders across faiths and ethnic groups within the council area as well as due consultation with the state security council.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang urged residents of the Mangu local government area to strictly observe the curfew and desist from taking laws into their own hands. He further implored security personnel to enforce the curfew to avoid any breakdown of law and order.
Mangu experienced fresh attacks on January 23 that left at least 30 people, including women and children dead.
The attack forced the state government to impose a dusk to dawn curfew, with security agencies charged to bring the assailants to view.
