Gov Bala Mohammed
The Bauchi state government has imposed a 24-hour curfew in Katagum Local Government Area following the worsening security crisis in the aftermath of the hunger protest last Tuesday.
The decision comes in response to a series of violent incidents that have resulted in the destruction of public property, theft, and victimisation in the area.
The directive from Governor Mohammed was announced on Monday, August 5, by the Secretary to the State Government, Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim, in a statement made available to journalists in Bauchi. The governor has instructed all security agencies to take swift action to address the situation, apprehend those responsible, and bring them to justice.
Governor Mohammed also called on law-abiding citizens to support security efforts during this challenging time, urging the community to cooperate with authorities to restore peace and order in Katagum. The curfew aims to prevent further violence and ensure the safety of residents and property in the affected area.
