From Jude Owuamanam, Jos
To avoid the spillover of the recent crisis in Jos, the Chairman of Mangu Local Government Area in Plateau State, Emmanuel Bala Mwolpun, has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on Mangu metropolis.
Mangu Local Government is 48 kilometres away from Jos, the Plateau State capital.
The curfew, which takes effect from Wednesday, April 1, runs from 8 pm to 6 am daily until further notice.
The chairman said he decided to safeguard the lives and property of residents amid prevailing security concerns after careful deliberation with heads of security operatives in the local council.

He appealed to residents to go about their lawful daily activities peacefully during the day and report any suspicious movements or activities to the relevant security agencies.
Residents have been urged to remain calm and support every effort by security agencies to restore normalcy to the area.
