Nasarawa State Govt Imposes Curfew in Lafia
The Nasarawa State Government has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in Lafia.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Yakubu Lamai, announced on Monday that the curfew was imposed due to ab intense violence which claimed at-least one life and would run daily from 6pm to 6am.
The violence, which was reportedly carried out by rival youth groups involved in a clash, happened just a day after gunmen attacked Alakyo village.
Lamai said that the curfew will help curb further attacks as people will no longer be able to leave their communities to attack others elsewhere.
“What we mean is that people can move in their own areas but should not cross over to other areas that are not theirs and this is only applicable to Lafia the state capital alone.”
