The Plateau State Government has further relaxed the curfew imposed on Jos North Local Government Area following the return of relative peace after the recent violent attacks in Angwan Rukuba.Under the new arrangement, which takes effect from Wednesday, April 8, 2026, movement will now be restricted only between 6pm and 6am daily, allowing residents to carry out their lawful activities freely during daytime hours.The decision was announced on Tuesday in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Lohya Ramnap.The government said the adjustment followed improved security conditions in Jos North after the Angwan Rukuba attacks and was made in consultation with security agencies.“Following the relative peace being experienced in Jos North Local Government Area after the attacks at Angwan Rukuba, government in consultation with security agencies, has further relaxed the curfew hours earlier imposed on Jos North LGA,” the statement said.It added that Governor Caleb Mutfwang has directed security agencies to ensure strict enforcement of the revised curfew hours in order to safeguard lives and property and sustain peace in the affected communities.Residents were urged to comply with the directive by remaining indoors during curfew hours, cooperating with security operatives, and providing useful information that could help maintain law and order.The latest relaxation comes after an earlier easing of the initial 48-hour total curfew imposed following the Angwan Rukuba attacks, which reportedly left 33 people dead.
