Jos, NIGERIA – The Plateau State Government has announced a further relaxation of the curfew imposed on Jos North Local Government Area, citing a relative improvement in the security situation following recent attacks in the Angwan Rukuba area.
Okay News gathered that starting Wednesday, April 8, 2026, residents of Jos North will be permitted to move freely and conduct their lawful businesses between the hours of 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily. The Commissioner for Information and Communication, Rt. Hon. Joyce Lohya Ramnap, disclosed the adjustment in a statement released on Tuesday evening.
Under the new directive, a dusk-to-dawn curfew (6:00 PM to 6:00 AM) remains in full force. Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has directed all security agencies to strictly enforce these hours to ensure the continued protection of lives and property while efforts to restore total calm in the affected areas persist.
The government advised residents to remain indoors during the restricted hours and to cooperate fully with security personnel. This adjustment follows earlier, more stringent restrictions intended to curb violence and prevent retaliatory attacks after the recent unrest that drew nationwide concern and criticism of the administration’s security response.
