Killings: Gov Bago Imposes Dusk-To-Dawm Curfew In Minna

The Niger State Governor, Umaru Mohammed Bago, has imposed a 6pm to 6am curfew on Minna, the state capital, in response to the recent wave of attacks and killings across the city.

According to the governor, the movement of commercial motorcycle and tricycle operators is now restricted between 6pm and 6am.

Bago made the announcement during a critical stakeholders’ security meeting with traditional rulers and heads of security agencies at the Government House on Tuesday.

He however said medical emergencies were exempt from the curfew.

He stated that the new measure was aimed at curbing the growing security challenges in the state capital.

The governor stressed that the government would not sit idly, while criminals continued to attack and kill innocent citizens.

He also directed district, vllage, and ward heads to commence proper documentation of visitors to their domains.

He warned that any house found to be harbouring suspected criminals or drug cartels would be demolished.

Minna has recently witnessed a resurgence of thuggery, attacks, and killings, raising concerns among residents.
