The Plateau State Government has declared a dusk-to-
dawn curfew in Riyom and Barkin Ladi Local Government
Areas following a resurgence of violence there.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Rufus
Bature, the Secretary to the State Government on
Thursday.
“The curfew starts 6pm and ends at 6am”, the statement
declared.
It stated that enough security personnel would be deployed
to protect life and property, and cautioned against actions
that could worsen the security situation in the area.
NAN reports that the warring Berom and Fulani
communities, who only recently resolved to end hostilities,
took up arms against each other early this week.
The Special Task Force in charge of security in Plateau
has confirmed that many have been killed in the past few
days but said that its personnel had been deployed in affected
areas to restore law and order.
