The curfew imposed on Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, following violent attacks on communities has been lifted five months after its initiation.
This announcement was made in a statement by Gyang Bere, the Director of Press and Public Affairs.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang decided to lift the curfew after consulting with the state security council and noting a return to normalcy in the affected communities.
The lifting of the curfew aims to allow residents to resume agricultural and economic activities.
The statement emphasised the governor’s encouragement for community leaders to continue fostering dialogue, trust, tolerance, and better understanding across different faiths and ethnicities.
Residents were urged to embrace peace, unity, and the spirit of being their brother’s keeper to ensure peaceful coexistence in their communities.
