Plateau govt lifts curfew in 3 LGAs

The Plateau State Government has lifted the curfew imposed on Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu Local Government Areas with immediate effect.

The Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, announced this in a statement issued in Jos on Thursday.

She said Governor Caleb Mutfwang approved the lifting of the restriction after consultations with security agencies.

According to her, the decision followed the relative peace recorded in the three local government areas.

"The decision follows the relative peace being experienced in the affected areas and is expected to foster ongoing efforts at restoring normalcy, ease of movement and socio-economic activities in the affected communities," she said.

Ramnap urged residents to maintain the peace and cooperate with security agencies by reporting suspicious movements.

She also advised residents to remain law-abiding and avoid actions that could threaten the security situation in their communities.

Ramnap also urged residents to promptly alert security agencies to any suspicious activities.

“The state government appreciates the cooperation of residents and remains committed to protecting lives and property, promoting peaceful coexistence and ensuring the overall development of the state,” the commissioner said.
