Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau
State has approved the relaxation of dusk to dawn curfew imposed in the state
following violent clashes.
It would be recalled that
following last Thursday’s clashes that resulted to the death of two persons,
the state government imposed the curfew in Jos-Bukuru metropolis.
A statement on Sunday by Lalong’s
Director of Press and Public Affairs, Mr Emmanuel Nanle, said that the decision
to relax the curfew was due to improved security.
“The governor of Plateau, having
considered the improvement in security, has approved the relaxation of the
curfew to now start 10p.m. to 6a.m. with effect from Sunday, Sept. 17 till
further notice.”
The governor in the statement
appreciated the swift response of security personnel to contain the situation.
He said that the wide spread
community consultative meetings held by various community and religious
leaders, after the unfortunate incident has further united the people.
According to him, “the people
have renewed commitments and resolved to be law abiding and peaceful.’’
Lalong assured the citizens of
the state that security personnel would continue to patrol flash points within
the greater Jos-Bukuru metropolis.
“All citizens are enjoined to go
about their lawful businesses with the assurance that their safety is
guaranteed,” the governor added.
