The Adamawa State Government has relaxed the curfew earlier imposed on Lamurde Local Government Area, allowing residents to move freely between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. with immediate effect.
The decision follows a review of the security situation in the area after recent disturbances that prompted restrictions on movement.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri announced the adjustment on Wednesday, issuing a stern warning to individuals responsible for the unrest. He said those behind the violence had been identified and would face the full weight of the law.
The governor stressed that his administration would not tolerate actions capable of disrupting public peace and stability in the state.
He urged law-abiding residents to go about their normal activities without fear, assuring them of the government’s continued commitment to safeguarding lives and property.
Governor Fintiri also directed security agencies to remain vigilant and ensure that calm is sustained across Lamurde. He appealed to all parties involved in the crisis to embrace peace and maintain order.
According to him, the government is closely monitoring developments in the area and will act decisively against any attempt to undermine stability.
