Gov. Lalong slammed 24hrs curfew in Jos North and South, direct security to arrest and prosecutes defaulters.

The Plateau State Governor, Rt. Hon. Dr. Barr. Simon Bako Lalong has today 24, April 2020 slammed another 24-hours curfew in Jos North and Jos South Local Government of the State till further notice.

The Governor in a statewide broadcast states that" you will recall that I announced a 24-hour curfew in Jos South and Jos North Local Government Areas on 20th October 2020 in response to the disturbances that arose when hoodlums hijacked the ENDSARS protests leading to the destruction of lives and properties".

He said, after an assessment of the situation, the curfew was relaxed from the hours of 6 am to 8 pm from yesterday 23rd October 2020.

Gov. Furthermore reveals that however today, some hoodlums broke into the warehouses where palliatives delivered to the State by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development last week were stored awaiting distribution and carted them away.

This looting has spread to other facilities and is gradually degenerating thereby threatening the peace and security of the State.

To avoid further escalation, I hereby direct the immediate reinstatement of the 24-hour curfew earlier relaxed from 4 pm today 24th October 2020 in Jos South and Jos North Local Government Areas till further notice.

By this, security agencies are directed to enforce the curfew and ensure that all violators are arrested and prosecuted.
I call on all citizens and stakeholders to continue to cooperate with the Government in ensuring the peace and progress of Plateau State.
