PRESS RELEASE
The Executive Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong
having considered the improvement in the state of security, since the
unfortunate incidence of Thursday, 14th September, 2017 which
necessitated the imposition of a dusk to dawn curfew, has with effect
from Sunday the 17th September, 2017 approved the relaxation of the
Curfew from 10pm daily to 6am of the subsequent day until further
notice.
The Executive Governor wishes to appreciate the swift response of
Security Personnel and the wide spread community consultative
meetings held by various community and religious leaders, which have
come out with renewed commitments and resolves of all and sundry to
be law abiding and peaceful.
The Governor wishes to assure our citizens of the State that Security
Personnel will continue to patrol flash points within the greater Jos-
Bukuru Metropolis, and they will ensure that all security measures as are
necessary to guarantee peace, security and compliance with the new
curfew order are done, so as to avert any likely bridge of law and order.
The Governor is therefore enjoining all citizens to go about their lawful
business with the assurance that their safety is guaranteed. He further
plead with all peace loving citizens to ensure that they cooperate with all
Security Personnel and to report all acts by persons that are likely to
constitute a breach to the hard earned peace of the State.
