The Plateau State Government has imposed an immediate dusk-to-dawn curfew on Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu Local Government Areas over emerging security concerns.
The Commissioner for Information and Communication, Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, mni, announced the directive in a statement issued on Monday, September 21, 2026.
Under the directive, movement within the three affected local government areas is restricted daily from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. until further notice.
The government said the measure is intended to enable security agencies to stabilise the affected areas, protect lives and property, and prevent further deterioration of public order.
Residents have been directed to comply with the restriction and organise their commercial, agricultural and personal activities around the curfew hours.
Security operatives have also been ordered to strictly enforce the curfew, alongside an immediate ban on the use of motorcycles throughout the affected jurisdictions.
The government urged residents to remain law-abiding and assured them that security personnel deployed to enforce the measures would operate professionally.
The directive was signed by Ramnap on behalf of the Plateau State Government under Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang’s administration.
