Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has announced a 24-hour curfew in the Jos and Bukuru metropolis, effective from midnight on Sunday, August 4, 2024.

In a statement issued on Sunday night, the governor explained that the curfew was implemented due to reports of looting by hoodlums in the Bauchi Road and Zololo Junction areas.

According to a release from the governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, “Governor Mutfwang has taken this decisive step to enhance security and maintain public order in Jos and Bukuru Metropolis. The decision followed a review of incidents where individuals exploited the nationwide protests to commit acts of violence and theft.”

The statement continued, “Criminal elements, armed with daggers, machetes, and other dangerous weapons, looted shops and restaurants along Bauchi Road and Zololo Junction, taking foodstuffs and other valuables. The governor stressed that the curfew is intended to protect citizens and urged everyone to comply fully to ensure public safety. Security agencies have been instructed to enforce the curfew strictly.”

The governor also warned potential troublemakers to cease their actions immediately or face severe legal consequences. He urged security forces to remain vigilant and proactive in maintaining law and order.

Governor Mutfwang expressed gratitude to the Plateau State citizens, particularly clergy and imams, for their support of government policies and their peaceful conduct during the nationwide protests. He commended their commitment to peace and unity.

The imposition of the curfew has raised concerns, as Plateau State youths have been participating in peaceful protests against bad governance. The curfew could potentially hinder these demonstrations, prompting questions about whether the measure is intended for security reasons or to prevent protesters from mobilizing on Monday.
