Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has relaxed the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on Mangu Local Government Area of the State. The curfew is now to be observed from 4 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. daily until further notice.
The review followed an improvement in the security situation in the local government area after strategic engagements with community leaders across faiths and ethnic groups within the area.
A statement, signed by Gyang Bere, the Director of Press and Public Affairs, to the Governor said, “Following remarkable improvement in the security situation and after due consultation with the State Security Council, the curfew has been relaxed. Residents of Mangu Local Government Area should strictly observe the curfew and refrain from taking the law into their hands.”
He urged security personnel to enforce the curfew to avoid a breakdown of law and order and urged the community to maintain collaboration with security agencies to ensure the complete restoration of peace and order in the area.
He cautioned against complacency, emphasising that the state government remains resolute in preventing any act capable of disrupting public tranquilly.
Governor Mutfwang encouraged citizens to actively contribute to the security efforts by providing credible intelligence to the relevant security agencies, as the government is working round the clock to restore permanent peace in the state.
