Governor Caleb Mutfwang has further relaxed the earlier
imposed curfew in Mangu Local Government Area, of Plateau state.
This follows the improved security situation in thelocality.
In a statement issued by GyangBere, the Director of Press
and Public Affairs, to Mutfwang on Monday in Jos, the government announced that
the curfew would now run from 8 pm to 7 am.
The governor explained that the adjustment in the timing
of the curfew was made after careful consideration and consultation with the
State Security Council.
He said that it was also to allow residents to resume
their agricultural and economic activities and continue their contribution to
the overall development of the state.
Mutfwang encouraged the community leaders, irrespective
of their faith or ethnicity, to continue their strategic engagements aimed at
nurturing trust, fostering tolerance, and promoting better understanding among
the people.
While urging the residents of Mangu LGA to adhere
strictly to the curfew by remaining indoors between 8 pm and 7 am, the governor
enjoined them to refrain from taking the law into their own hands.

constitutional responsibility of ensuring effective enforcement of the curfew
to prevent any breach of law and order.
