Plateau Governor Simon Lalong has relaxed the 24-hour curfew on Jos North Local Government.

The decision was reached after an intensive review of the security situations in a broadcast on Monday morning by Lalong.

Under the new arrangement, the curfew will be observed from 6pm to 6am daily from Monday 30th August 2021.

The Governor said Bassa and Jos South Local Government Areas will now observe their curfew from 10pm to 6am until further notice.

He warned trouble makers to desist from threatening lives and property or be ready to face the wrath of government.

He declared security forces had been directed to deal with anyone causing breach of the peace.

The Governor decried the desperation of criminals whom he said, were bent on causing mayhem in the state.

He lamented despite efforts to address insecurity in the State, there were still isolated attacks in some areas of Jos North and Bassa local government areas during the curfew.

He said that with the review of the curfew in Jos North, security agencies would mount permanent checkpoints in highly vulnerable areas and observe continuously the conduct of residents.
