The Plateau State Government has reviewed a 24-hour curfew imposed on the Mangu Local Government Area of the state.
In a statement by the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, the curfew is to
be observed from 4 pm to 8 am until further notice.
The statement added that the review followed an improvement in the security situation in the affected LGA after strategic engagements with community leaders across faiths and ethnic groups within the council area as well as due to consultation with the state security council.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang enjoined residents of the Mangu Local Government Area to strictly observe the curfew and refrain from taking laws into their own hands.
He urged security personnel to enforce the curfew to avoid any breakdown of law and order.
Mangu experienced fresh attacks on January 23 that left at least 30 people, including women and children dead.
The attack forced the state government to impose a dusk-to-dawn curfew, with security agencies charged to bring the assailants to book.
The latest violence comes few weeks after gunmen attacked communities in Mangu, Bokkos, and Barkin Ladi LGAs which killed over 100 people and several others displaced in the violence.
