Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has declared a 24-hour curfew in Jos and Bukuru metropolis.

The curfew, which took effect from midnight on Sunday, August 4, 2024, follows reported cases of looting and violence in the Bauchi Road community and Zolo Junction.

According to a statement signed by the governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, the decision was made after consulting with state security agencies.

The governor noted that criminal elements had exploited the nationwide protest to unleash terror on innocent citizens, breaking into shops and restaurants, and looting foodstuffs and other valuable items.

“Governor Mutfwang emphasized that the curfew is in the best interest of all citizens and urged everyone to comply fully to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. He directed security agencies in the state to ensure the total enforcement of the curfew across the Jos/Bukuru Metropolis,” the statement said.

The statement warned those planning to unleash further terror on innocent citizens to desist immediately or face the full wrath of the law. The governor also called on security agencies to remain vigilant and proactive in their duties to prevent any potential disruptions to law and order.

“Governor Mutfwang expressed gratitude to the citizens of Plateau State, particularly the clergy and imams, for their unwavering support of government’s policies and programs. He acknowledged their cooperation and adherence to directives during the planned nationwide protest and praised their commitment to maintaining peace and unity.

“The peaceful conduct of our people before, during, and after the nationwide protest is commendable. I urge everyone to continue to uphold this culture of peace as we work together to build a united and progressive Plateau,” the statement added.

To avoid the breakdown of law and order.

The next episode will be those protesters looting people's businesses

This might the the final death of the protest in jos

Very necessary

It is because they are extremists with deep rooted hatred for Muslims.
They hate Tinubu because he is a Muslim and they are sympathetic to Obi because Obi is a Christian

Lol

Governor as clueless as the president...

see your life? do you know Jos at all? Bauchi Road is inhabited 98% by hausa fulani. plateau indegenes have abandoned the area and reolated to other parts of Jos and Bukuru. Worse still that's where Jos motor park is located. the violence and looting were carried out by violent muslim miscreants.
