Plateau Reinstates 24-Hour Curfew After Looting Of COVID-19 Palliatives

 

The hoodlums asked the residents to pick whatever they could see in the warehouse and return home

Following the looting of the warehouse containing relief materials, the Plateau State governor, Simon Lalong, has declared a 24-hour curfew in the state.

Mr Lalong had earlier declared a 24-hour curfew in Jos South and Jos North Local Government Areas on Wednesday in response to the violence that broke out when hoodlums hijacked the #ENDSARS protests.

Lives and properties have been lost to these acts of violence, Mr Lalong said.

Meanwhile, on Friday, the curfew was relaxed from the hours of 6 am to 8 pm.

However, on Saturday, some hoodlums broke into the warehouses where palliatives delivered to the state by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development last week were kept.
