Adamawa Gov imposes 24-hour curfew over hoodlums attack on business premises

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has imposed a 24-hour curfew across the state as a result of attacks on business premises by hoodlums.

According to reports, the curfew which became effective on Sunday, 30th July, was necessitated by unwarranted activities of hoodlums.

The hoodlums, it was gathered, broke into shops and business premises and carted away foodstuff, commodities, etc.

A statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou, said only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew.

While appealing to the citizens and residents of the state to comply with the directive, the statement maintained that any person found contravening the order would be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.

Meanwhile, a cross section of residents interviewed by Tribune Online on the development applauded the quick decision taken by the governor.

However, they were of the view that the government should take proactive steps to cushion the pains Nigerians are passing through as a result of the subsidy removal.
