Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has
imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew (6pm to 6am) curfew in Bassa Local Government
Area of the state to checkmate the ambush and killing of innocent persons.
Lalong, in a press statement signed by his Director of Press and
Public Affairs, Emmanuel Nanle, directed security agencies to ensure strick
implementation of the curfew order.
He attributed the order to the recurring incidences of attacks
in Irigwe chiefdom and neighbouring areas around the Bassa–Vom- Jos South,
adjoining borders and the Manchok, Kaduna State adjoining areas with the Irigwe
ancestral land.
The Governor, he added, has directed a special military search
and security enforcement operation within the aforementioned areas.
“Consequent upon this therefore, in order to guarantee an
effective operation and the safety of all law abiding citizens, the Governor
has approved the imposition of a dusk to dawn curfew over Bassa Local
Government Area.”
He noted that all community leaders, village heads, ward heads,
district heads and paramount rulers of all areas bordering Irigwe Chiefdom are
directed to ensure strict compliance with the curfew order and other specific
security measures that would be put in place, to guarantee the peace and
security of the entire citizens of the entire Bassa Local Government Area.
Lalong assured that security operatives are under strict
instruction to ensure appropriate military-civil relations in the enforcement
of all necessary security measures for the good of all.
It would be recalled that there has been persistent protest by
Miango youths over the killing
of two of their members, by suspected gunmen.
