Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state.
After plundering things from two warehouses, the governor announced the step Sunday afternoon.
When security personnel arrived, some of the hoodlums had degenerated to attacking customers in private stores.
According to a statement from Fintiri’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, the curfew was imposed as a result of “the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital as they attacked people with matches and broke into business premises carting away property.”
The curfew will prevent mobility throughout the state, according to the administration.
The statement reads:
“Rt. Hon. Fintiri said only people on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew.”
The governor urged everyone to follow the order and warned that anyone who did not would be detained and punished.
