Taraba Declares Indefinite Curfew Over Looting

The Taraba State Government has imposed an indefinite curfew in the state following the invasion of government warehouses by hoodlums on Saturday .
This was contained in a statement by Musleem Aruwa , the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Deputy Governor, Haruna Manu, in Jalingo .

Manu expressed worry that some hoodlums invaded government warehouses containing palliatives and carted away items meant for distribution to members of the public .
The media aide said, “ Government has carefully reviewed developments in the last 24 hours and decided to extend the curfew to safeguard lives and properties.

“ All law -abiding citizens are advised to stay at home and allow security agencies who are under strict instructions to enforce the curfew and equally protect innocent citizens.

“ However, the government is not unaware of people on essential duties, who are similarly requested to carry with them official identification cards to show security operatives on demand to avoid embarrassment.
