12HRS CURFEW IMPOSED ON PLATEAU STATE

Following the series of coordinated killings in parts of Plateau State in two consecutive days, leading to the death of a Senator, House of Assembly member and several other innocent Nigerians, THE GIST PLUS gathered that Governor Jona Jang has imposed a curfew. The curfew cuts across four local government areas in the state, from 7am to 7pm till further notice. They are namely Jos South, Barkin Ladi, Jos North and Riyom. Sources told THE GIST PLUS that intelligence information had indicated that some group of youths in the affected areas were already mobilizing for a reprisal attack that could throw the state into religious war, hence the action. Droves of military and police personnel are said to be trooping into Plateau State to maintain peace.
