Yobe State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim

curfew earlier imposed on Damaturu, the
state capital, following the daring attempt
by Boko Haram insurgents to seize control
of the Government House on Monday
morning.

A statement signed by the governor’s
Special Adviser on Press Affairs and
Information, Abdullahi Bego, said review
of the curfew hours followed discussions
with heads of law enforcement agencies
on the state in which the ongoing security
efforts within Damaturu metropolis were
reviewed.

“As from Wednesday 3 December 2014,
the curfew will start from 6.00PM to
7.00AM daily”, the statement read in part.
The governor, who called on members of
the public to continue to extend their
support to and cooperation with security
agents in their effort to ensure peace and
security in the state, said people can move
freely between the hours of 7AM and 6PM
as the curfew will start from 6PM daily.

“Going forward, the curfew hours will be
reviewed further on the basis of
recommendations from the head of law
enforcement agencies in the state.
“Members of the general public are kindly
advised to comply with the new curfew
hours”, the statement said.
