BEVERLY HILLS, March 14, (THEWILL) –Â The Plateau State Government has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew on Bassa Local Government Area of the state with immediate effect.
The state government announced the curfew on Wednesday following another attack in the state.
THEWILL notes that Plateau State has witnessed at least four attacks since President Buhari visited the state Thursday, last week.
Security operatives confirmed Wednesday’s attacks but could not give full details about the casualty figure.
However, a statement by the government said the 6pm to 6am curfew follows the attack in Dong and Rafiki communities of the state which led to the loss of lives and destruction of property.
The attack came less than 24 hours after 25 people were killed at Dundu village, also in Bassa LGA.
Security agencies in the affected local government area have been mandated to enforce the curfew while law abiding citizens are advised to go about their lawful business.
