Adamawa state governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has declared a 24-hour curfew on residents, following a breakdown of law and order across the State.
The governor announced the decision on Sunday, July 30, 2023.
This is after the escalating attacks of hoodlums breaking into warehouses and carting away foodstuffs and other valuables.
In the statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Humwashi Wonosikou, the curfew takes effect immediately on Sunday, July 30, 2023.
According to the statement, Governor Fintiri said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital city as they attack people with matches and break into private business premises and homes carting away people’s belongings.
