The Adamawa State Government has cancelled a planned crossover concert in the capital city, Yola, citing security concerns. The event, scheduled for December 31 2025 and set to continue into the early hours of January 1 2026, had been elaborately planned and was expected to feature performances by famous musicians.
According to a notice released on Tuesday by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, the cancellation is based on credible intelligence reports indicating a potential security threat. The notice stated that all activities planned for the Cross‑Over Night at the Unity Fly‑Over in Jimeta‑Yola have been called off.
The government emphasized that the safety and security of citizens remain a top priority. It assured the public that it will continue to work with security agencies to maintain peace and stability in the state. Residents of Yola North and South Local Government Areas have been advised to remain vigilant, avoid crowded areas, and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
While the cancellation may disappoint residents and visitors who were looking forward to the concert, it is a precautionary measure intended to prevent possible security breaches. By prioritizing safety and collaborating with security forces, the Adamawa State Government demonstrates its commitment to protecting its citizens and ensuring a stable, secure environment as the state ushers in the new year.
