The Plateau State Government has further relaxed the curfew imposed on Jos North Local Government Area, citing a relative return to calm following recent attacks in Angwan Rukuba.
The revised measure, effective from Wednesday, 8 April 2026, permits residents to move freely between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily, while the curfew will now run from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Joyce Ramnap.
The government urged residents to conduct their lawful activities strictly within the approved hours and to fully adhere to restrictions during the curfew period.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang has also instructed security agencies to ensure strict enforcement of the directive to protect lives and property and to maintain peace in the area.
Residents were further advised to remain indoors during curfew hours, cooperate with security personnel, and share useful information with relevant authorities to support ongoing efforts to sustain law and order.
The curfew was initially imposed after deadly attacks in parts of Jos North, particularly in Angwan Rukuba, where several lives were lost.
In recent days, Plateau State has experienced a renewed wave of violence across Jos and neighbouring local government areas, including Jos South, Barkin Ladi, and Riyom.
Despite the relaxation of restrictions, authorities noted that while the security situation has improved, it remains fragile, with intensified patrols and surveillance continuing across affected communities.
