TARABA GOVERNMENT IMPOSES INDEFINITE CURFEW OVER LOOTING
The Taraba State Government has imposed an indefinite curfew in the State following the invasion of Government warehouses by hoodlums.
This was disclosed in a statement by Musleem Aruwa, Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Deputy Governor, Haruna Manu, on Monday, October 26.
Manu lamented over the invasion and looting of Government warehouses where palliatives meant for the people are stored.
Despite a 24-hour curfew imposed on the State, hoodlums on Sunday, October 25, looted warehouses belonging to both private and Government.
Report says the hoodlums no longer go for food items alone, but anything they can cart away with.
While reacting to this, the State Government said it has carefully reviewed developments in the last 24 hours and decided to extend the curfew to safeguard lives and properties.
The statement read: “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.
