The Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has reviewed the curfew regime imposed on the three area Councils of Yola North, Yola South and Girei to take immediate effect from 11am to 5am against the 10am to 5am earlier imposed.

The curfew which was imposed as a result of the criminal activities of Shila Boys and other Miscreants terrorising residents using Tricycles and Motorcycles in these community.

This was made known in a press statement issued by the press secretary to the Adamawa state governor, Humwashi Wonosikou, and made available to Daily Rendezvous, over the weekend in Yola, Adamawa state.

The Statement reads, "The curfew which was 10pm to 5am is now eased to commence from 11pm to 5am daily during the period of the Ramadan Fast and the review takes  immediate effect.

"The Government had on February 2nd imposed a night curfew on the three Councils through the Adamawa State Restriction of Movement of Tricycles/Motorcycles Executive Order No.1 of 2021.

"The order is meant to check the excesses of hoodlums terrorising the areas prescribing a sentence of six Months imprisonment with an option of fine or both in addition to forfeiting the Tricycle or Motorcycle."

It added that, "The review of the Restriction of movement is necessitated by the desire of the Government to allow Muslim faithful observe unhindered Tafsir at their various Mosques during the Ramadan period. 

"Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, however, directed security agencies to beef up security across the state especially in the three councils of Yola North, Yola South and Girei by deploying more service personnel to keep watch and ensure the security of lives and property of residents of the State. 

"Governor Fintiri warned that anyone found in breach of the peace will be dealt with accordingly. 

"Security agencies will continue to discharge their duties and residents are urged to cooperate with them to maintain the status of our State as one of the most peaceful.

"While wishing the Muslim Ummah a peaceful Ramadan, the Governor advised them to adhere to the guidelines of COVID-19, which include the use of protective face masks in public places. 

"We urge residents to maintain social distancing in public gatherings, regular handwashing and use of sanitizers.

"I appeal to residents not to encourage any action that may turn back the clock, but to keep living in harmony and strengthen the unity that we are known for, Ramadan Kareem."
