Plateau State is reportedly in a state of tension as the state government has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew as attacks are being carried out in various parts of the state.

An unaccountable number of persons are reported dead in Plateau State following the outbreak of violence in the state

The cause of the violence is reported to be a protest carried out by the locals in response to the deaths resulting from the attacks being carried out by the dreaded Fulani herdsmen.

The state government have, however, imposed a 6 a.m to 6 p.m curfew to prevent the break down of law and order in the state.

A statement by the Secretary to the Plateau State Government, Rufus Bature, said the curfew is to prevent further loss of lives.

“The Plateau State government has imposed curfew in Riyom, Barkin Ladi and Jos South to avert a breakdown of law and order,” Mr Bature stated.

“Movement is restricted from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., except those on essential duties.”

Security agencies have been directed to curtail the protest and the outbreak of violence in the state.
