Return to Normalcy in Nigerian Towns: Governor Lifts Curfew
Normalcy has been restored in Potiskum, Gashu’a, and Nguru towns of Yobe State, Nigeria, after recent violent protests. The Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has announced the immediate lifting of the curfew imposed on the towns, aiming to allow residents to resume their normal activities.
This decision was conveyed through a statement issued on Sunday by Brigadier General (retd.), the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters. He emphasized the need for law enforcement agencies to remain vigilant and maintain peace and order in the affected towns and throughout the state.
The statement emphasized the importance of security agencies preventing any malicious activities that may arise due to the lifting of the curfew. It reads, “The security agencies should ensure that no space is given to hoodlums, miscreants, and other criminals to perpetrate any act of lawlessness as a result of the lifting of the curfew.”
Furthermore, General Buni appealed to all law-abiding citizens to carry on with their daily activities as usual and to report any suspicious behavior to the relevant authorities. He acknowledged the efforts of law enforcement agencies and requested their continued diligence in maintaining the safety of all residents.
As the towns of Yobe State return to a state of normalcy, it is essential to reinforce the importance of public cooperation and awareness about the need to maintain peace and security.
