Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, of Adamawa State, has declared a dawn-to-dusk curfew in the state.
The curfew which commenced today (Sunday), was said to have been necessitated by the prevailing security challenges that are currently bedevilling the state.
Making the announcement via a press statement issued to media men in the state on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, the governor said the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital.
Hoodlums, as noticed by our state correspondent, have in recent times been attacking people with matches and breaking into business premises and homes carting away property.
