Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Lamurde Local Government Area with immediate effect to checkmate the level of insecurity in the state.
The directive followed recent violent attacks and breaches of peace in some communities within the area, which the government views as unacceptable.
The government has directed security agencies to enforce the curfew strictly, cautioning that anyone or group of people found violating the order would be arrested and dealt with according to the law.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou, reiterated the government’s commitment to protecting lives and property, as well as ensuring the safety of all citizens.
