Plateau State in Nigeria imposes an immediate dusk-to-dawn curfew on the Barkin Ladi, Bokkos and Mangu local government areas. The curfew begins in the evening and restricts movement from 6pm to 6am, according to multiple reports. It is implemented “until further notice,” following continuing security concerns in the affected communities.
The state government links the curfew to renewed incidents, including killings and fresh attacks, reported across the three LGAs. Vanguard and Premium Times both describe the decision as a response to emerging or fresh security threats, while Punch attributes it specifically to renewed killings. All outlets state the curfew is introduced in reaction to violence and is intended to limit movement during night hours as the authorities assess the security situation.
