Plateau State Governor Relaxes Curfew In Jos

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has approved the relaxation of dusk to dawn curfew imposed in the state following violent clashes.

The governor relaxed the curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

It would be recalled that following last Thursday’s clashes that resulted to the death of two persons, the state government imposed the curfew in Jos-Bukuru metropolis.

A statement on Sunday by Lalong’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Mr Emmanuel Nanle, said that the decision to relax the curfew was due to improved security.

“The governor of Plateau, having considered the improvement in security, has approved the relaxation of the curfew to now start 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. with effect from Sunday, Sept. 17 till further notice.” The governor in the statement appreciated the swift response of security personnel to contain the situation.
