The Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has further relaxed the curfew earlier imposed in the Jos-Bukuru metropolis.

The governor had on Sunday imposed a 24-hour curfew on the metropolis following violent protest by youths.

The order followed the looting of public and private assets by hoodlums in Jos North local government area of the state.

He later relaxed the curfew to allow free movement in the area.

The Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, Mr Gyang Bere, announced the latest development in a statement on Friday in Jos.

He said there would now be free movement between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., effective Saturday.
