Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has relaxed the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on the Mangu Local Government Area of the state following the killings and crisis that erupted in the locality since Monday.
Over 40 persons were reportedly killed during the attacks and killings in the council area, while several houses were also burnt.
The governor, who announced the relaxation of the curfew in a statement issued on Friday by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, said the curfew is now to be observed from 4 pm to 8 am daily until further notice.
He said the review followed an improvement in the security situation in the local government area after strategic engagements with community leaders across faiths and ethnic groups.
Governor Mutfwang encouraged citizens to actively contribute to the security efforts by providing credible intelligence to the relevant security agencies.
He concluded that his government is working round the clock to restore permanent peace in the state.
