#EndSARS: Adamawa govt. relaxes 24-hour curfew

The Adamawa Government has relaxed the 12- hour curfew imposed on the state in the wake of #EndSARS protest, which was hijacked by hoodlums.

 

The government announced this in a statement by Mr Humwashi Wonosikou, Press Secretary to Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri on Monday in Yola.

 

Wonosikou said that the curfew would now be from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily.

 

He quoted Fintiri as saying that the action followed gradual return of peace in the state.

 

“The Adamawa government has reviewed the 12- hour curfew imposed on the state, following events in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest.

 

“The curfew, earlier imposed from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m., has now been relaxed with immediate effect.

 

“People are allowed to move around and go about their normal businesses from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.,” he said.

 

The governor lauded residents of the state, who complied with the directive to return looted items to the government.

 

“We as a people are resolute to move this state forward.

 

“As we put these events behind us, I assure you that I will not relent but ensure that all we have set to achieve are achieved,” Fintiri said in the statement.
