EndBadGovernance Protest: Bauchi Governor imposes 24-Hour curfew on Katagum LGA
Bauchi state Governor, Bala Mohammed has imposed a 24-hour curfew in Katagum Local Government Area of the state following escalating security crisis in the aftermath of the End Bad Governance protest held last Tuesday.
The decision, according to the governor, was made in response to a string of violent occurrences that caused theft, damage to public property, and victimization in the community.
The governor’s order is contained in a statement that State Government Secretary Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim made available to journalists in Bauchi on Monday.
The statement said Gov Mohammed has instructed all security agencies to take swift action to address the situation, apprehend those responsible and bring them to justice.
The governor also called on law-abiding citizens to support security efforts during the challenging time.
No fewer than 52 protesters were arrested last Friday for alleged violent activities in the aftermath of the demonstration which commenced on Thursday in the state.
