Adamawa State Police Command has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew on the State as from Sunday, 12 of April 2015.
He said that the curfew which would run between 12th and 14th of the month would be between 6pm to 6am. The measure, according to him, was to ensure peaceful and orderly conduct of the governorship and state House of Assembly elections in the state.
“After the last presidential and National Assembly elections, we had some nasty and ugly experiences in the state, hence the present measures,” he explained.
He also announced the ban of Keke Napep, wheel barrow, truck-pushers and any other person hawking materials, warning that the law would take its course on any person or group that violates the order.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress APC has through a statement by its spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, directed its members to defy the curfew and move freely to vote as well as protect their votes since the curfew was unlawful.
He said that there was no threat to security in the state to warrant the imposition of curfew.
“Imposing an unlawful curfew with effect from when voting ends on Saturday is suspect and unacceptable. We are therefore asking all our members and supporters to ignore the curfew, come out en masse to vote and also stay back to defend their votes,” APC said
