Business activities in Adamawa state may be at the lowest ebb for few days as restriction has been clamped on movement of the people throughout the state
Following the upsurge in the activities of hoodlums, Adamawa state Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri has declared 24-hours curfew on the state with effect from Sunday.
Governor Fintiri, while announcing the decision in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, on Sunday, said that with the curfew in place, there will be no movement throughout the state.
The statement however added that only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew.
Fintiri explained that the measure became necessary and unavoidable owing to the dangerous dimension activities of hoodlums had assumed in all parts of the state.
The Governor noted that the hoodlums attack people with matchets and break into business premises and homes carting away property.
Fintiri appealed to citizens and residents of the state to comply with the directive, adding that any person found contravening the order would be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
