Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State on Sunday declared a 24-hour curfew on the state, effective from Sunday 30th July, 2023.
Fintiri said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital as they attacked people with machetes and broke into business premises carting away property.
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.
A statement signed by press secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou is appealing to citizens and residents of the state to comply with the directive.
The statement added that any person found contravening the order would be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
