Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State on Sunday declared a 24-hour curfew on the state as some rampaging youths invaded some warehouses and private shops in the state, looting various items.
A statement from Fintiri’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, said the curfew followed “the dangerous dimension the activities of hoodlums had assumed across the state capital as they attacked people with matches and broke into business premises carting away property.”
