Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has declared an indefinite dusk to dawn (6pm – 6am) curfew within the Greater Jos – Bukuru Metropolis.
This followed a spread of rumours within the Jos Metropolis in response to the agitation by Independent People of Biafra in the South East.
Lalong in Press statement signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs Mr. Samuel, Emmanuel Nanle said the action of the Governor is to forestall any break down of law and order.
“The Executive Governor has directed the immediate deployment of security personnel to all flash points within the Jos Metropolis to ensure compliance with the curfew and to avert any further breach of the peace,” he said.
