Bauchi’s governor, Bala Mohammed, has relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on Katagum Local Government Area of the state due to escalating security concerns. The curfew has been relaxed to 12 hours, effective from 6 pm to 6 am daily.
The decision followed a comprehensive review conducted in collaboration with security agencies, which indicated a gradual return to normalcy in the area. Mohammed approved the adjustment in the curfew hour in a statement made available to journalists in Bauchi on Tuesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim. He reaffirmed the state's commitment to restoring stability while balancing the needs and safety of the residents.
recalls that the state government had declared a 24-hour curfew in Katagum yesterday following the escalation of the crisis in Azare, headquarters of Katagum, where hoodlums took advantage of the protest to vandalise the Government House Annex and house of a former deputy governor of the state, and also broke shops and looted properties.
