The Deputy Governor of Adamawa State, Professor Kaletapwa Farauta, has condemned yesterday’s looting of warehouses including that of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, by those she referred to as hoodlums in the state capital, Yola.
Following the looting, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri acted swiftly by imposing a 24-hour curfew on the state.
A statement by his Press Secretary says the curfew followed the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital as they attack people with machetes and break into business premises and homes carting away property.
Fintiri said only those on essential duties with valid identification would be permitted to move around during the period of the curfew.
