He directed that the curfew should operate from 2p.m to 7a.m.
“The relaxation of the curfew is to take effect from Friday, until further notice,” he said.
The governor, he said, took the decision to alleviate the suffering of residents of the three towns and provide an opportunity for them to attend to their immediate needs.
The governor commended the residents for the cessation of hostility so far.

The governor tasked the joint security task force to continue with their 24-hour surveillance to ensure zero tolerance for any act of lawlessness.
The governor further directed the state emergency agency to intensify the support services for the displaced people as earlier directed.
