Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has relaxed the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed on Mangu Local Government Area of the state.
The Director of Press and Public Affairs to the governor, Gyang Bere, made this known in a statement on Friday in Jos, the state capital.
The statement, the curfew is now to be observed from 4 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. daily until further notice after an improvement in the security situation in the LGA.
The statement reads, “Following remarkable improvement in the security situation and after due consultation with the State Security Council, the curfew has been relaxed. Residents of Mangu Local Government Area should strictly observe the curfew and refrain from taking the law into their hands.”
It urged security personnel to enforce the curfew to avoid a breakdown of law and order and urged the community to maintain collaboration with security agencies to ensure the complete restoration of peace and order in the area.

According to the statement, the governor encouraged citizens to actively contribute to the security efforts by providing credible intelligence to the relevant security agencies.
