 JUST IN Govt imposes 24 hr curfew on Adamawa LGA
Governor Of Adamawa State Ahmadu Fintiri

The Adamawa State Government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on the Lamurde local government area of the state with immediate effect.

The curfew was conveyed through a statement by the Press Secretary, Office of the Deputy Governor, Hussaini Hammangabdo, on Monday.

The decision was made following a renewed communal clash which resurfaced Sunday evening in the area.

It was gathered that heavily armed Chobo-speaking tribal militia from neighbouring Gombe State, joined their counterparts in Adamawa state and allegedly launched coordinated assaults on Bachama communities in Lamurde Local Government Area, leaving dozens feared dead.

Local sources said the attackers advanced from the creeks bordering Gombe and overran several settlements from the western axis, sacking Tingno, Waduku and two other villages.

Hammangabdo added that security agencies have already been directed to restore law and order in the local government area with immediate effect.

The State Government also appealed to residents to maintain peace and calm in the area.
