Governor of Adamawa State, North East Nigeria, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has declared a 24-hour curfew on the state.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou says the curfew is effective from Sunday 30th July, 2023.
Governor Fintiri said the curfew followed the “dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums” had assumed across the state capital as they attack people with matches and break into business premises and homes carting away property.
“With the curfew imposed, there will be no movement throughout the state.
” Only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew,” Fintiri said.
The Governor is, therefore, appealing to citizens and residents of the state to comply with the directive, adding that any person found contravening the order would be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
