The Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce

Security operatives have also been directed to enforce the
curfew across the affected areas.
The state government further banned the use of motorcycles

The government assured residents that security personnel
deployed to enforce the measures would operate professionally.
The directive comes amid security incidents reported in
parts of Plateau State, particularly in Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu.
