The Plateau State Governor, Simon lalong, has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew on Bassa Local Government Area of the state with immediate effect. The state government announced the curfew on Wednesday after yet another attack in the state.
A statement by the government said: “the 6 pm to 6 am curfew follows the attack in the morning in Dong and Rafiki communities, which led to the loss of lives and destruction of property.”
Security agencies in the affected local government area have been mandated to enforce the curfew, while law abiding citizens are advised to go about their lawful business.
Security operatives confirmed Wednesday’s attacks but could not give full details about the casualty figure.
Plateau State has witnessed at least four attacks since President Buhari visited the state on Thursday, last week.
