The Joint Security Task Force (JTF) in Yobe State has imposed a 24-hour curfew in Potiskum local government area of the state, saying that the new measure took effect from Monday, August 5, 2013.
The JTF stated this yesterday in a statement issued by the Yobe State Joint Task Force (JTF) spokesman, Eli- Lazaru, and made available to our state correspondent in Damaturu, the state capital.
Lazaru also urged residents to remain calm and cooperate with security agencies by remaining indoors.
According to him, the residents of Potiskum local government town would remain indoors until the curfew is lifted.
