Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has taken decisive action to address the rising unrest in the region by imposing a 24-hour curfew. The curfew comes in response to the recent wave of attacks on businesses by hoodlums, causing havoc and instilling fear among the residents.
Effective from Sunday, 30th July, the curfew aims to curb the unchecked activities of these hoodlums who have been breaking into shops and business premises, looting valuable resources such as foodstuff and commodities. The governor’s decision to impose the curfew was made in order to protect businesses and restore calm and order within the state.
Only individuals with valid identification who are on essential duties will be permitted to move around during the curfew. The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Humwashi Wonosikou, emphasized the importance of citizens and residents complying fully with the directive. Any person found contravening the curfew order will face arrest and the full consequences of the law.
In response to the governor’s action, a cross-section of residents interviewed expressed their approval of the swift decision. The curfew is seen as a necessary step to restore security and protect businesses from further damage.
Moving forward, it is essential for the government to prioritize the safety and well-being of the residents by boosting security measures and addressing the root causes of such unrest. Efforts should be made to apprehend the perpetrators responsible for the attacks and ensure that they face the full brunt of the law.
With the imposition of the 24-hour curfew, Adamawa State will now hopefully experience a return to normalcy as residents and businesses can feel safer and more protected. It is crucial for all stakeholders to work together towards a safer and more prosperous future for the state. By upholding the rule of law and promoting a secure environment, the government can instill confidence in both residents and investors alike.
The governor’s decision serves as a reminder of the importance of strong leadership in times of crisis. Swift action and effective measures are crucial to safeguarding lives and properties. By imposing this curfew, Governor Fintiri has shown his commitment to maintaining peace and harmony in Adamawa State.
As the curfew takes effect, it is necessary for everyone to adhere to the directives and cooperate with the authorities. Together, we can overcome these challenges and ensure a brighter future for Adamawa State.
