Again, Fintiri imposes 24-hour curfew on Adamawa LG

Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Lamurde Local Government Area with immediate effect following renewed violent attacks in some communities in the area.

The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, made this known in a statement issued on Monday, March 9, 2026.

This is the fourth time in less than six months that Fintiri is imposing a curfew due to the ongoing conflict between the Chobo and Bachaman communities.

Wonosikou said the directive followed renewed violence and breach of peace that claimed the lives of some residents in the affected communities.

He said the governor described the disturbances as unacceptable and directed security agencies to enforce the curfew strictly.

Fintiri urged residents to comply with the curfew and provide useful information to security agencies to ensure peaceful coexistence.

The governor appealed to residents to cooperate with security agencies to restore normalcy, reaffirming government’s commitment to protecting lives and property in Adamawa State.
