Looting: Adamawa gov declares 24-hour curfew
The Governor of Adamawa State, the Rt Hon Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has declared a 24-hour curfew on the state, effective immediately Sunday 30th July, 2023.
Fintiri said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital as they attack people with matches and break into business premises and homes carting away property.
According to a press statement signed by Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Humwashi Wonosikou, with the curfew imposed, “there will be no movement throughout the state.”
Fintiri said only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew.
“The Governor is appealing to citizens and residents of the state to comply with the directive, the statement partly read.
Fintiri added that any person found contravening the order would be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
