The Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the Mangu Local Government Area of the state, following recent attacks by gunmen in the council area which led to the loss of lives and properties.
Mutfwang stated this on Sunday, in a statement signed by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere.
The statement reads: “The Governor, in consultation with the State Security Council, imposed the curfew on the entire Local Government Area to restore law and order.
“Consequently, movements within the Local Government have been banned until further notice except for security personnel and persons on essential duties.

The statement, however, assured the people that the government is working round-the-clock to restore peace and security in the State.
The PUNCH reports that the latest curfew imposed in Mangu LGA on Sunday was the second in less than one month.
