Plateau state Govt declares Curfew on Local Govt Councils
The Plateau State government on Wednesday declared a dusk to dawn curfew in Barkin Ladi and Riyom Local government councils of the state in an attempt to curb the increasing rate of killings in the councils in the past one month.
The State government in a statement signed by the Secretary to State Government, SSG, Mr. Rufus Bature, said the curfew will be indefinite until the security situation and spate of attacks is effectively checked by security operatives.
The Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria and Chairman of Barkin Ladi local government area, Emmanuel Loman, also said the curfew is necessary in view of the serious security threat faced by the two areas.
