Governor Ahmadu Fintiri on Sunday imposed a 24-hour curfew on Adamawa State.
This is after the escalating attacks of hoodlums breaking into warehouses and carting away foodstuffs and other valuables.
On his verified Twitter handle, Fintiri said the government took the action as a precaution to prevent the escalating violence by hoodlums attacking people and businesses.
In 2020, the state witnessed the looting of a government-owned warehouse at Kwana-waya by angry residents, who later broke into the central stores located at Barkin Kogi and took away food items.
The governor wrote: “Effective immediately Sunday, 3oth July 2023, I, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, have declared a 24-hour curfew in Adamawa State due to escalating violence by hoodlums attacking people and businesses.
“No movement is allowed, except for essential duties with valid ID. Your safety is our priority – please comply for the well-being of all”.
