Adamawa state governor, Mr. Ahmadu Fintiri, has imposed a 24-hour curfew in the state.
The governor announced the decision on Sunday via his verified Twitter handle.
The governor explained that the action became necessary in order to protect businesses in the state and maintain law and order. “Effective immediately on Sunday, July 30, 2023, I, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, have declared a 24-hour curfew in Adamawa State due to escalating violence by hoodlums attacking people and businesses. No movement is allowed, except for essential duties with a valid ID. Your safety is our priority – please comply for the well-being of all”. The governor echoed.
Meanwhile, Netizens on Twitter have continued to react to the development. “People are hungry; you are locking them up for going to government-owned stores to pick what belongs to them? Why didn’t you share those grains? What are they doing in stores when your people are hungry? Kanajin tsoron Allah kuwa? “@AbRaheemmuhd tweeted.
Another Netizen, however berated the governor for the way he is handling the situation and called for concerted efforts to end the menace. “It is shameful that your citizens are hungry and you lock up food items in storage. Declaration of 24 hour curfew still shows lack of understanding of the situation. You should be addressing them and assuring them that your government will respond to their need. It is your duty”. @NDrAgwoTurumbe tweeted.
Curfew wouldn’t solve any issue created by severe hunger…. They should wait till the Judiciary give wrong judgment next two weeks…..ndị ECOMOG dalụ nu
