The Adamawa State Government has directed for a review of the curfew regime imposed on the three Council areas of Yola North, Yola South and Girei, following the activities of Shila Boys and other miscreants in the society using tricycles and motorcycles.
The curfew, which was from 11pm to 5am during the Ramadan Fast has now been reviewed to commence from 10pm to 5am with immediate effect.
The review of the restriction of movement is necessitated by the desire of the government to checkmate rising activities of hoodlums terrorising these areas.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, while approving the relaxation, directed security agencies to ensure strict compliance to the order under, “the Adamawa State Restriction of Movement of Tricycles/Motorcycles Executive Order No.1 of 2021,” warning that anybody found breaching the peace or violating the curfew shall face the wrath of the law.
The Governor added that “security agencies will continue to discharge their duties and residents are urged to cooperate with them to maintain the status of our State as one of the most peaceful”.
“I appeal to residents not to indulge in any action that may turn back the clock, but to keep living in harmony and strengthen the unity that we are known for”.
