Army Invokes Dusk-to-dawn Curfew In Adamawa, As Nyako Questions Emergency Rule

The Nigerian Army has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew across Adamawa State, one of the three states that had a state of emergency imposed on them by President Goodluck Jonathan for a massive military onslaught to flush out members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

In a statement signed by the Nigerian Army spokesperson in Adamawa, Mohammed Nuhu, the army urged all the residents to abide by the curfew.
Also, the spokesperson for the Defence Headquarters, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade said, “every resource available” to the armed forces would be used in the operation against Boko Haram.
This is coming just as the Governor of Adamawa state, Murtala Nyako, in a statewide address questioned the inclusion of the state among those affected by the emergency rule, noting that the state is the most peaceful among all the six states in the north-east region.
Mr. Nyako, however, pledged his support for the emergency rule as he urged the residents of the state to remain calm and prayerful during this critical time.
He also asked parents to keep watch over their wards stressing that women and youth, suffer most during emergency rule.
