The curfew, which began at midnight on March 29, will remain
in effect until April 1, 2026.
According to the Commissioner for Information and

as “barbaric and unprovoked”, and assured residents that security forces have
been deployed across Jos North LGA to bring the perpetrators to justice and
maintain order during the curfew.
