Agbu Kefas, the governor of Taraba State, has placed a 24-hour curfew on Karim town, the headquarters of the Karim Lamido Local Government Area (LGA), and its environs, commencing July 2, 2023.
The curfew was imposed as a result of recurrent communal clashes in various portions of the local government area following the deaths of over thirty people.
In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Yusuf Sanda said security agencies have been mandated to ensure strict compliance and any person or group of persons found violating the order should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
“All ward heads, village heads, traditional rulers, and stakeholders in Karim Lamido LGA are advised to take note of the development,” the statement concluded.
