The 23 Army Brigade Command in Yola on Friday reviewed the curfew period imposed on Michika and Madagali local government areas of Adamawa.
A statement issued by the Army Public Relations Officer, Capt. Jafaru Nuhu, in Yola, noted that the review followed the recent upsurge of insurgent attacks in the affected areas.
It quoted Capt. Jafaru Nuhu as saying “the curfew is now from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m each day instead of 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. until further notice.
The statement read in part that: “the headquarters of the 23 Brigade wishes to bring to the notice of the general populace of Adamawa of the review of curfew period from 7 p.m to 5 a.m in Michika and Madagali.
“This review affects all towns and villages in the two affected local government areas with effect from Friday, Feb. 28, 2014.”
Nuhu solicited for the support and cooperation of the people of the state in reporting any suspicious person and movement to the nearest security post.
“The people of Adamawa are requested to be law abiding and comply strictly with the curfew,” he said.
