Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Lamurde Local Government Area following renewed communal violence in parts of the area.
The curfew was announced in a statement issued on Sunday night by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Humeashi Wonosikou.
“The government views these disturbances as unacceptable and has directed security agencies to enforce the curfew strictly.
“The curfew is effective immediately and will remain in place until further notice. Governor Fintiri has also directed security agencies to enforce the curfew and maintain law and order in the area,” the statement read.
Residents were urged to comply with the directive and provide useful information to security agencies to help restore peace.
Fintiri also reiterated the government’s commitment to protecting lives and property, noting that acts of violence would not be tolerated.
The development comes amid renewed clashes between members of the Chobo and Bachama communities in Lamurde.
Recall that at least two persons were killed before the curfew was announced on Sunday night.
