“From 2 p.m. of today, Sunday 15th August 2021, a 24-hour curfew will come into effect in Jos North Local Government Area.

“This is necessitated by security reports, which indicate rising threats to the safety of lives and properties within the Local Government,” he said .

He urged Plateau residents to comply with the directive, to allow security agencies maintain law and order and deal with those bent on causing chaos.

Mr Lalong stressed that the 24-hour curfew in Jos North Local Government Area would be operational until further notice.
