Plateau governor orders curfew in three local government areas after killings

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on three local government areas following renewed killings, according to the supplied report. The order covers Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu. Residents in the affected areas are therefore subject to restrictions during the hours covered by the curfew, although the report does not state when the measure began or how long it will remain in force.

The governor’s decision was linked to renewed killings in the three local government areas. The available material does not identify those responsible, describe the circumstances of the violence or provide a figure for deaths or injuries. It also does not specify which security agencies will enforce the restriction, whether exemptions apply or whether additional measures have been announced by the state government.

The curfew is the latest action identified in the report in response to the violence. Further information about the incidents and any official assessment of the security situation was not included in the supplied source material.
