Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Plateau State Police Command has arrested 14 suspected violators of the 24-hour curfew earlier imposed in Jos and its environs.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Emmanuel Adesina, made this disclosure shortly after the State Security Council meeting on Monday in Jos.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Plateau government on Sunday imposed a 24-hour curfew in the Jos-Bukuru metropolis, following the outbreak of violence and looting by some protesters in the Jos North Local Government Area of the state.<\/p>\n

Adesina said that the activities of miscreants, who hijacked the peaceful protest in the state, forced the state government to impose the 24-hour curfew.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you all know, the nationwide protest in the state was going on peacefully, until yesterday when some miscreants hijacked it and started looting public and private assets in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state government immediately imposed a curfew to curtail activities of the miscreants; the curfew is still in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur resolution of this meeting is that we shall fully and vigorously enforce the curfew; anyone caught violating it will be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, we have arrested 14 violators and we want to warn residents to stay indoors pending when the curfew is reviewed by the government,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

On his part, Retired Brig.-Gen. Gakji Shipi, the Special Adviser on Security to the Plateau governor, called on residents of the state to eschew violence and give peace a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis government is doing everything possible to ensure the Plateau is peaceful but the bad eggs among us will not relent in tarnishing our good image.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to appeal to all citizens to eschew all forms of violence and explore peaceful means of coexistence; our citizens should desist from incitement,\u201d Shipi said.<\/p>\n
