Residents loot food items in Adamawa, governor declares 24-hour curfew
After some residents of Adamawa stormed a government-owned warehouse and private businesses to loot food items, the state governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has declared a 24-hour curfew on the state, effective immediately Sunday 30th July, 2023.
Governor Fintiri said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital as they attacked people with matches 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, adding that any person found contravening the order would be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
