The Adamawa state government has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew throughout the state to curtail the looting of warehouses that began Sunday in some locations in the state capital.

Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri made the declaration at a state wide broadcast on Sunday.

” I have declared and imposed an indefinite dawn to dusk curfew throughout the State beginning from 3 o’clock Sunday the 25th of October 2020.

” Movement by all manner of vehicles except as authorized, is hereby prohibited as the curfew comes into effect.

” As a responsible Government, we shall do everything within our powers to protect the lives of every citizen and will not brook any lawlessness within our boundaries,” the governor said.

The governor said that the decision became imperative following the activities of “some misguided elements” who have broken into warehouses owned by the State Government and carted away COVID-19 palliatives.

” While this Government respects the rights of the citizens to seek redress, it is not blind to the fact that there is a civilized and responsible way of channeling genuine grievances.

” As a responsible Government, we shall do everything within our powers to protect the lives of every citizen and will not brook any lawlessness within our boundaries.

” I charge every citizen to remain calm as we navigate this current situation,” he further stressed.
