Earlier, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang had declared a 24-hour curfew in Mangu Local Government Area of the state with immediate effect following deteriorating security situation in the area.

In a statement issued by the director of press and public affairs, Gyang Bere, he said Governor Mutfwang took the decision after consultations with the relevant security agencies.

He stated that only persons on essential duties are allowed to move within the local government area until further notice.

The statement urged all citizens, especially residents of Mangu local government area, to comply with the directive and assist the security personnel by providing reliable information to restore peace and order in the area.

He promised that the curfew will be reviewed as soon as the security situation improves.
