Over two months after the imposition of a 10 pm to 6 am curfew as part of efforts to curb the insecurity, the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong has directed the total lifting of the curfew in Jos North, Jos South, and Bassa local government areas.
Governor Lalong gave the new directive after a State Security Council Meeting which held at the Government House in Jos on Friday.
His order came after the council reviewed the security situation in the state and is to take effect from Friday.
Directing that in place of the curfew, relevant security agencies should mount checks in strategic areas of the state and enhance intelligence to ensure safety of lives and properties during the Yuletide, he commended the citizens for their cooperation, urging them to be security-conscious and highly vigilant against any suspected.
He also praised the security agencies for their patriotic service, urging them to continue to do more as the government will do its best to support them in carrying out their mandate of securing lives and properties.
Meanwhile, the total ban on motorcycles within the Jos-Bukuru metropolis is still in force while their operations in other local government areas will stop at 8 pm.
Tricycles within the metropolis will continue to operate on the existing template of 6 am to 6 pm only.
