Plateau orders dusk-to-dawn curfew in three local government areas

The Plateau State Government has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on three local government areas after fresh attacks in communities, Premium Times reports. The affected areas are Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu. The order restricts movement from dusk until dawn, although the supplied report does not specify the exact starting and ending times.

The government introduced the measure following what the source described as fresh attacks in the communities. No details were provided about the locations of the incidents, the groups involved or the circumstances in which they occurred. Premium Times did not report the number of people killed or injured, whether homes or other property were damaged, or whether anyone had been arrested in connection with the attacks.

The available material also does not say whether the curfew applies to all residents or includes exemptions for essential services. The duration of the restriction was not stated. It is therefore unclear whether the order is temporary for a defined period or will remain in place until the government announces a change.

The curfew represents the state government’s immediate security response to the reported attacks in the three local government areas. Further details on enforcement and the situation in the affected communities were not included in the supplied report.
