Gov. Bassey Otu has declared a dusk-to-dawn curfew in Akpabuyo and Bakassi Local Government Areas of Cross River, following crisis in the two LGAs.
A statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Anthony Owan-Enoh said the curfew “takes immediate effect and will run from 7pm to 6am.”
It would be recalled that both LGAs in the Southern Senatorial District of the state have been recording crisis for weeks in which lives and property were lost.
According to the governor, movement of people and vehicles had been banned during the curfew hours.
He said that the measure became necessary to ensure the safety of life and property, as well as forestall further breakdown of law and order.
“The public is therefore advised in their own interest to adhere strictly to these directives,” he added. (NAN)
