Following the hijack of the ENDSARS protests by hoodlums and break down of law and order, Plateau state Governor , Dr Simon Lalong has imposed a curfew in Jos South and Jos North local government areas. The curfew , which took effect from 8 pm last night is till further notice.
The governor, in a statement, lamented the degeneration of the process to the situation where hoodlums took to the roads looting business premises along the Ahmadu way and burning a worship place along Gyero Road in Bukuru.
Governor Lalong also said that following careful assessment of the situation, all forms of Priests are thereafter banned in the same two local governments areas.
He directed that only those on essential duties are to be on the roads as businesses are to shut and children and youths kept at home to forestall further breakdown of law and order.
Governor Lalong reiterated the vow of his administration to work to maintain the peace that the people of the state have laboured hard to build over the years while defaulters will be arrested and prosecuted.
