Plateau State Government has further relaxed the curfew imposed on Jos North Local Government Area following the deadly attacks at Angwan Rukuba.

A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, said that from yesterday, April 8, the curfew would be observed only from 6pm to 6am daily (dusk to dawn), while residents are free to go about their lawful activities between 6am and 6pm.

The statement said: “Following the relative peace being experienced in Jos North Local Government Area after the attacks at Angwan Rukuba, the government, in consultation with security agencies, has further relaxed the curfew hours earlier imposed on Jos North LGA,” the statement read.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang directed all security agencies to strictly enforce the curfew during the restricted hours to protect lives and property and restore lasting calm in the affected areas.

She urged residents to remain indoors during curfew hours, cooperate fully with security personnel and provide useful information that could help maintain peace and order.

Mutfwang had imposed a 48-hour curfew in Jos in the aftermath of the deadly killing in Angwan Rukuba, which claimed  33 persons.
