Killings: Gov Bago Imposes Dusk-To-Dawm Curfew In Minna (12616 Views)

InfoGuru118: 4:12pm On Apr 22

The Niger State Governor, Umaru Mohammed Bago, has imposed a 6pm to 6am curfew on Minna, the state capital, in response to the recent wave of attacks and killings across the city, News360 Nigeria reports.

According to the governor, the movement of commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators is now restricted between 6pm and 6am.

Bago made the announcement during a critical stakeholders’ security meeting with traditional rulers and heads of security agencies at the Government House on Tuesday.

He however said medical emergencies were exempt from the curfew.

He stated that the new measure was aimed at curbing the growing security challenges in the state capital.

The governor stressed that the government would not sit idly, while criminals continued to attack and kill innocent citizens.

He also directed district, vllage, and ward heads to commence proper documentation of visitors to their domains.

He warned that any house found to be harbouring suspected criminals or drug cartels would be demolished.

Minna has recently witnessed a resurgence of thuggery, attacks, and killings, raising concerns among residents.

Nigeria is a disaster zone. Killings everywhere, kidnapping everywhere.
Bola Tinubu had said he will recruit millions of men and feed them with Agbado and send them to fight insurgency. But since he assumed control as president, he has failed to implement it and insecurity is now worse. Nigerians are being killed everyday and everywhere.

A very proactive Governor, this is what a sensible Governor should do when there's any violence or attacks in a community, not coming on the media to cry. This Governor has never been crying, he is always on top of the situation. A top 3 Governor in Nigeria.

-Kiss the truth!

I wish Tinubu was as decisive as this. He's rather watching idly as insecurity becomes worse daily.

Our commander won't impose state of emergency on this o, but would quickly impose where he has political interests.

This is democratic cum freedom fighter of yesteryears.

African nations would start developing web her leaders given policies and orders base on interests of people and not themselves.
