Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state’s Mangu Local Government Area (LGA) following recent attacks.
Mr Mutfwang gave the directive on Sunday in Jos, according to a statement by Gyang Bere, the governor’s aide.
Fresh attacks were reportedly unleashed on some communities in Mangu LGA on Saturday night, resulting in the death of nine people and loss of properties.
“The governor, in consultation with the State Security Council, imposed the curfew on the entire Local Government Area to restore law and order.
“Consequently, movements within the local government have been banned until further notice except for security personnel and persons on essential duties.
“Security agencies have therefore been directed to ensure total enforcement of the curfew,” the statement read.
The governor further assured the people that the government was working round-the-clock to restore peace and security in the state.
