From Christiana Gokyo, Jos
The Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has announced the relaxation of the 48-hour curfew earlier imposed on parts of the state following recent violence in Jos.
The curfew, according to the government, will now run from 7am to 3pm daily, effective from April 1, 2026, allowing residents to carry out their lawful activities within the stipulated hours.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday evening by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap, and made available to journalists in Jos.
The government said the decision to relax the curfew followed the relative calm recorded after the recent attack on residents of Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area.
It, however, urged residents to remain calm, vigilant, and law-abiding, noting that security agencies were still monitoring the situation to ensure sustained peace and order.
“The government appreciates the cooperation and resilience of the public during this period and reiterates its commitment to the protection of lives and property across the state,” the statement added.
