The Yobe State Government has implemented a curfew in the towns of Potiskum, Gashua, and Nguru towns as of Thursday.
According to The PUNCH, this action is a response to the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest, which has been exploited by some hoodlums to cause destruction and loot government and private properties in these towns.
A press release, signed by Brigadier General Dahiru Abdussallam (retd.), the Special Adviser on security matters to Governor Mai Buni, was shared with PUNCH Online on Thursday.
The statement reads, “the state government has imposed a 24-hour curfew in Potiskum, Gashua and Nguru.
”The public is hereby advised to abide by the curfew order and stay at home for peace to reign in these areas and the state at large.”
Abdussallam further stated, “Security agencies have been directed to ensure enforcement and full compliance of the curfew order.”
