The Adamawa State Police Command has imposed dusk to dawn curfew on the State as from Sunday, 12 of April 2015.
But the All Progressives Congress (APC) has through a statement by its spokesman, Lai Mohammed, directed its members to defy the curfew and move freely to vote as well as protect their votes since the curfew was unlawful.
The state Commissioner of Police, Gabriel Adaji, made the announcement while briefing newsmen in his office Friday in Yola preparatory to Saturday’s Governorship and state Assembly elections.
Adaji announced that the curfew which would run between 12th and 14th of the month would be between 6pm to 6am.
He disclosed that the measure was to ensure peaceful and orderly conduct of the governorship and state House of Assembly elections in the state.
“After the last presidential and National Assembly elections, we had some nasty and ugly experiences in the state, hence the present measures”, Adaji explained.
He also announced the ban of Keke Napep, wheel barrow, truck-pushers and any other person hawking materials, warning that the law would take its course on any person or group that violates the order.
Adaji commended the people of the state, especially politicians for their peaceful conduct and orderliness during the presidential and National Assembly election.
