Governor Bala Mohammed on Wednesday imposed a curfew on the Gudum Hausawa community located on the outskirts of the Bauchi metropolis.

This is contained in a statement by Mukhtar Gidado, the special adviser on media and publicity to the governor.

According to him, the move was sequel to a community clash where three persons lost their lives, many were injured, and houses were burnt.

Mr Gidado also said the governor informed the public that security agents had already arrested the perpetrators of the clash.

He reiterated that the current administration would not relent in providing lasting peace and security in the area and across all the state communities.

”His Excellency has also directed security agencies to conduct intensive surveillance in order to identify the cause of the incident and condemned the burning of houses and other properties by the unsuspected hoodlums,” he explained.

Mr Gidado added, “The governor, who also directed for the establishment of a police outfit in the area in a move to enforce security, further urged communities in the area to live in peace and harmony irrespective of their religious or tribal differences as no society can progress and develop without peace.”
