Governor, Simon Lalong.
Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has approved the
relaxation of the curfew imposed in Jos South and Jos North Local
Government Areas with effect from Wednesday.
The Director of Press and Public Affairs to the governor, Makut
Macham, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
He explained that the approval followed the assessment of the
security situation in the state, and in line with the
recommendation of the Plateau State Security Council.
By this directive, Macham said no movement would be allowed
between the hours of 12 midnight and 6am until further notice.
“Citizens are advised to go about their lawful businesses
without any fear as security agencies have been directed to ensure
effective patrols and surveillance to protect lives and
property.

“They have equally been directed to identify and arrest any
individual or group of persons that engage in any acts of
criminality including looting, arson, vandalism, and the threat to
lives and property in the state,” part of the statement read.
The governor, after going round areas affected by the recent
wanton acts of vandalism, arson, and destruction in the company of
the Plateau State National Assembly Caucus, condemned the level of
destruction of both public and private properties and the magnitude
of the loss recorded.
He appealed to the youths to desist from such disgraceful acts
and warned that those caught engaging in such activities would be
made to face the full wrath of the law.
