The Adamawa State government has eased the 24-hour curfew imposed across the 21 Local Government Areas following the activities of hoodlums on Sunday that broke into Government warehouses carting away with food and non-food items.

The relaxation of the curfew follows a meeting in the early hours of Monday morning between security chiefs and Government officials led by the Deputy Governor, Prof Kaletapwa George Farauta.

Prof. Kaletapwa while addressing the Press shortly after the meeting, said the curfew has been reviewed from 6pm to 6am and will be reviewed hourly while authorities will maintain an increased security presence to ensure compliance to Government’s directive.

While assuring that efforts are made to ensure that criminals do not disrupt the peace of the State, the Deputy Governor also urged Parents to send their children and wards to school as well as the reopening of businesses premises.
