Yobe imposes curfew in Potiskum, Gashua, Nguru LGs

The Yobe State Government on Thursday imposed a curfew in Potiskum, Gashua, and Nguru towns.

Our correspondent gathered the curfew was due to the ongoing #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest in the state that some hoodlums have taken advantage of to vandalise and loot government and private property in the Potiskum, Gashua, and Nguru.

This was contained in a press statement signed by Special Adviser to Governor Mai Buni, on security matters, Brigadier General Dahiru Abdussallam (retd.), made available to PUNCH Online on Thursday.

The statement partly read, “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.”

Abdulsallam added, “Security agencies have been directed to ensure enforcement and full compliance of the curfew order.
